HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software Mainframe Agent Installation and Configuration Guide

Checks before upgrading
Checking whether to upgrade Device Manager
Because P9000 mainframe agent is provided with Device Manager, make sure that you upgrade the
server and mainframe hosts at the same time.
Checking the user SVC number
Check the user SVC number because you must assign the same number after upgrading. The method
of checking the user SVC number varies depending on whether the user SVC was registered with the
YKSETENV command or the IEASVCxx parmlib member.
• When the user SVC was registered by using the YKSETENV command
Check the value specified in the YKALCSVC command parameter.
• When the user SVC was registered by using the IEASVCxx parmlib member
Check the value set in the &YKSVCNO system symbol.
Backing up datasets
Back up the following datasets:
• Cataloged procedure for startup (standard member name: YKAGENTD)
• Initialization parameters (standard member name: YKPRM00)
• Datasets in which P9000 mainframe agent was installed
Pre-upgrade procedure
Deleting the user SVC
When you upgrade the P9000 mainframe agent, you must delete the user SVC of an earlier P9000
mainframe agent version before installing the new version.
If the user SVC was registered by using the YKALCSVC command, use the YKALCSVC command to
delete the user SVC.
If the user SVC was registered by using the IEASVCxx parmlib member, you cannot use the YKALCSVC
command to delete the user SVC. Instead, you must complete the following procedure. For details on
steps 1 and 2, see the MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference.
1. Comment out the SYMDEF statement for the &YKSVCNO system symbol in the IEASYMxx parmlib
member as follows:
/* SYMDEF(&YKSVCNO='SVC-number') */
2. Use the IEASVCxx parmlib member to disable (comment out) the SVCPARM statement for the
JYUASVC module.
/* SVCPARM SVC-number,REPLACE,TYPE(3),EPNAME(JYUASVC) */
