SMP Usage
Posted: Wed Dec 25, 2013 11:07 amIn the Installing WASOEM. topic there was talk about the system was not installed with SMP. I suspect that Mr. Sample and Mr. Sorrichetti are not aware that some large, multiple site companies have a centralized group prepare operating systems that are then sent out to individual systems without any underlying SMP control data sets.
However, the GIMSMP batch program is almost certainly in the linklist of these systems, so if the install logic for this WASEOM product does not require the use of the CSI for the operating system and related IBM products it can almost certainly be installed into its own CSI. Only a careful reading of the printed installation material can ferret out any cross product dependencies, as well as a trial run of the APPLY CHECK JCL in the installation material can determine this.
It may not be wise for a junior systems guy to be doing this without consulting with the central systems group. They may have already installed the product elsewhere, and it may be very simple for them to make the product available at the topic starter's site.
