Chapter 2. Prerequisites
This section covers the prerequisites for installing IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS.
Before you begin to install and configure IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS, familiarize yourself
with the tasks that enable you to successfully install and configure the the data virtualization solution that
satisfies your requirements. The following table describes each significant perquisite task.

6 Create a copy of the product libraries See “Copying target libraries” on page 6.
(optional).

Required naming conventions

You must follow the Data Virtualization Manager server naming conventions when configuring the server
subsystem ID and the server initialization member.
The server subsystem name must follow the pattern xVZy, where x is any alphabetic character A - Z and y
is any alphanumeric character A-Z or 0-9.
Depending on what you name the server subsystem, the server initialization member must follow the
same naming convention as the server subsystem name, for example, xVZyIN00.
Note: The default server naming conventions used throughout this guide are AVZS for the server
subsystem name and AVZSIN00 for the server initialization member.

Creating server data sets

The AVZDFDIV and AVZGNMP1 members of hlq.SAVZCNTL create data sets for the Trace Browse, the
global variable checkpoint, and the data-mapping facility (DMF) that are used by the Data Virtualization
Manager server. The AVZGNMP1 member also copies distributed data sets into user-modifiable data sets.
The AVZEXSWI member builds the Web interface objects.

Procedure
1. Customize the AVZDFDIV member in hlq.SAVZCNTL to meet your requirements. The AVZDFDIV
member contains comments that describe how to customize the variables.

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2017, 2022 3

 2. Submit the AVZDFDIV member.
3. Customize the AVZGNMP1 member in hlq.SAVZCNTL to meet your requirements. The AVZGNMP1
member contains comments that describe how to customize the variables.
4. Submit the AVZGNMP1 member.
Note: The map data set created in this step should be the first concatenated data set in the DD
statement AVZMAPP located in the server started task. See hlq.SAVZCNTL(AVZ1PROC). The user
and server should have read and write permissions to this data set. The system-provided data set
(hlq.SAVZSMAP) should be the last data set in the AVZMAPP concatenation. The user and server
should only have read access to the data set. The administrator will need read and write permissions.
Note:
AVZGNMP1 creates a copy of the RULES outside of SMP/E. Do not edit the SMP/E copy of these rules.
Should a new maintenance touches these rules, see HOLD ACTION for next step about updating the
rules created from running AVZGNMP1job.
5. Customize the AVZEXSWI member in hlq.SAVZCNTL to meet your requirements. The AVZEXSWI
member contains comments that describe how to customize the variables.
Note: The data set named on the RECEIVE command in the AVZEXSWI member is later used in the
server initialization member AVZSIN00 for the SWICNTLDSN parameter definition, as follows:

swiobj = SHLQ2||".SAVZXOBJ"
"MODIFY PARM NAME(SWICNTLDSN) VALUE("||swiobj||")"

6. Submit the AVZEXSWI member.

Defining security authorizations

To use an external security product, such as RACF, ACF2, or Top Secret, define the started task name to
the security product and authorize the data set.

Procedure
To define the server and other required permissions for your security product, customize the appropriate
security option located in the hlq.SAVZCNTL library, and submit the job:
• AVZRAVDB is for IBM Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) security.
• AVZA2VDB is for CA ACF2 (Access Control Facility) security.
• AVZTSVDB is for CA Top Secret Security (TSS).

Results
The following table summarizes the access requirements by data definition name:

AVZMAPP READ, WRITE hlq.SAVZMAP. The user id and the server id
should have the access to this dataset.

Make sure that your z/OS Security Administrator reviews the security definitions. You might need to
change definitions to meet requirements at your site.

Configuring Workload Manager (WLM)

To get optimum performance from the server, define the server to WLM. The Data Virtualization Manager
server should be prioritized slightly below the data provider in your WLM environment. It is not sufficient
to simply add the STC to a WLM service class as the server will create independent enclaves for each
connection.

About this task

The server should be configured to use a medium to high performing WLM velocity goal as its default
service class.

Procedure
1. Create a WLM Classification rule.
a) Go to the WLM ISPF application, and select option 6 (Classification Rules).
b) Select option 1 to Create.
c) Set the Subsystem Type to AVZ, and provide an optional description.
d) Under the Class/Service Column next to DEFAULTS, set the desired default service class name. If
a desired service class does not exist, then create one using option 4 (Service Classes) under the
Primary WLM menu. Press enter and PF3 to save.
2. Define the Data Virtualization Manager started task AVZ1PROC to a WLM service class.
a) Go to the WLM ISPF application, and select option 6 (Classification Rules).
b) For the STC WLM-subsystem type, select Modify.
c) Add an entry for AVZ1PROC.
d) Add an appropriate service class for the started task and define it relative to existing workload
resource management objectives.
e) Add a unique Report class for the started task.
3. Activate the new WLM policy definition.

APF-authorizing LOAD library data sets

You must authorize for APF (Authorized Program Facility) all LOAD library data sets allocated to the Data
Virtualization Manager server.

About this task

All LOAD library data sets allocated to the Data Virtualization Manager server in the server started task
JCL must be APF-authorized.
These LOAD library data sets are allocated to the following ddnames:
• STEPLIB

Chapter 2. Prerequisites  5
 You must authorize the LOAD library hlq.SAVZLOAD.
• AVZRPCLB
You must authorize the LOAD library hlq.SAVZRPC.
If any data sets allocated to these ddnames are not APF-authorized, the Data Virtualization Manager
server will issue the error message AVZ0051S during startup identifying the ddname and data set name of
each unauthorized library. Startup processing will discontinue and the server will shut down.

Procedure
The APF authorize should be done dynamically using the SETPROG APF command, and then made
permanent for the next IPL (initial program load) by updating the appropriate system PARMLIB member.

Copying target libraries

It is recommended that copies be made of the target libraries to preserve any prior customization, as
applying new maintenance often replaces existing PDS members.

AVZ installation using z/OSMF workflow (Automated manner)

The automated way of AVZ installation uses a series of z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF) workflow files
and templates to invoke z/OSMF for configuring the AVZ server and its components.
Workflows simplify and streamline the configuration of the Data Virtualization Manager by taking inputs
from the user and populate the panel fields with the values. The templates can also be submitted as
batch jobs on z/OS.
Follow the instructions mentioned in the document to install Data Virtualization Manager using automated
z/OSMF automated workflow.

Downloading and untarring files

Follow the instructions in this section to download and untar the files.

Before you begin

Note: The minimum PTF level required is UI77011 for configuring workflows to install AVZ using z/OSMF.

About this task

After applying the PTF, SAVZZOSMF member should be available in hlq.SAVZCNTL library. SAVZZOSMF is
a TAR file containing zOSMF files.
To untar the zOSMF files carry out the steps mentioned in this task.

Procedure
1. Go to the ISPF panel, enter option 3.4 or 3.17 and then enter the path where you want to save the
files. For example, - /user/name/.
2. On the command line enter a forward slash “/”.
The command entry panel appears.
3. Issue /bin/tar -xvf "//'hlq.sSAVZcntl(SAVZzosmf)'" .
Note: The quotes should be “double” ‘single’ ‘single’ “double”.

Results
This command will untar the zOSMF files to your current path within a sub directory/zosmf. The untar
files should be copied from /zosmf directory to the path which will be referred to while proceeding with
further steps.

Configuration file (wkAVZconfig.xml)

This section describes how to configure the workflow definition file (wkAVZconfig.xml).
1. Declare variables: This is the first step that the user needs to perform. This step allows the user to
enter the parameter value in the categorized fields. The fields will be populated with default values.
User can replace it based on their needs.
2. Data Virtualization Manager Server Files: This step customizes the AVZFiles.template. This template
creates and runs a batch job that creates and customizes the global variable and the system check

10  IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS: Data Virtualization Manager Installation Guide
 data sets that the server uses. The customized batch job is copied to the hlq.SAVZCNTL product data
set, where ‘hlq’ is the high level qualifier of the product data sets. As a user, you need to place the
map at HLQ.AVZID.SAVZMAP. This job will delete if HLQ.AVZID.SAVZ* data set exists and create the
following data sets:
• HLQ.AVZID.SAVZMAP
• HLQ.AVZID.SAVZXATH
• HLQ.AVZID.SAVZXCMD
• HLQ.AVZID.SAVZXEXC
• HLQ.AVZID.SAVZXOBJ
• HLQ.AVZID.SAVZXSQL
• HLQ.AVZID.SAVZXTOD
• HLQ.AVZID.SAVZXVTB
• HLQ.AVZID.SAVZXAPF
• HLQ.AVZID.SYSCHK1
• HLQ.AVZID.SYSCHK1.DATA
• HLQ.AVZID.TRACE
• HLQ.AVZID.TRACE.DATA
3. Server Initialization: This step customizes the AVZIN00.template. On submitting this template, it
will generate AVZxIN00 and AVZxINEF files. This template customizes the server parameter file
AVZxIN00, where AVZx is the four-character AVZ ID used in customizing the server. This file contains
parameters that the server uses to access the data sources. The customized batch job is copied to the
hlq.SAVZEXEC product data set, where hlq is the high level qualifier of the product data sets.
4. Data Virtualization Manager APF Authorization: This step performs APF authorization of load and
RPC libraries that are required for the Server. APF Authorization is done dynamically using SETPROG
command. This step also creates a member called APFATH in HLQ.AVZID.SAVZXAPF dataset. The
content of APFATH must be copied to SYSIBM.PARMLIB by system administrator to retain APF
authorization of LOAD and RPC libraries even after an IPL is completed.
5. Data Virtualization Manager server proc: This step customizes the AVZServer.template. This template
customizes the server started task proc AVZIDPROC, where AVZID is the four-character ID used in
customizing the server. This is the server that is started when using the Data Virtualization Manager.
The customized batch job is stored in the hlq.SAVZCNTL product data set, where hlq is the high level
qualifier of the product data sets.
6. Data Virtualization Manager bind job for CAF/RRSAF: This is an optional step. This step customizes
the AVZbindc.template. This template creates and runs a bind job when using Db2 for CAF/RRSAF.
This customized bind job is stored in the hlq.SAVZCNTL product data set, where hlq is the high level
qualifier of the product data sets. It generates the data set hlq.SAVZDBRM.
7. Data Virtualization Manager bind job for DRDA: This is an optional step. This step customizes the
templateAVZbindd.template. This template creates and runs a bind job when using Db2 for DRDA.
This customized bind job is stored in the hlq.SAVZCNTL product data set, where hlq is the high level
qualifier of the product data sets. Note that Db2 Bind and DRDA job expects plan or packages to be
available during plan or package free step, otherwise a return code of 08 is shown for the first time.

Installing server maintenance

To install server maintenance, use the IBM SMP/E for z/OS program. Download the latest PTFs to the z/OS
system where you want to apply the PTFs.

Configuring support for code pages and DBCS

You can configure the server to support Japanese code pages and double-byte character sets (DBCS).

About this task

To support different code pages and double-byte character sets, you must manually customize the server
initialization member.

Chapter 3. Installing and configuring the server  17

 Procedure
1. Locate the Data Virtualization Manager configuration member. The server initialization member is
shipped in data set member hlq.SAVZEXEC(AVZSIN00) and may have been copied to a new data set
for customization in the step “Copying target libraries” on page 6.
2. In the member, locate the DEFINE DATABASE statement for your subsystem, and verify that the
CCSID value is set correctly for the subsystem.
3. Locate the comment Set CCSID for non-DB2 data, as shown in the following example:

/*-------------------------------------*/
/* Set CCSID for non-DB2 data */
/*-------------------------------------*/

if DoThis then
do
"MODIFY PARM NAME(SQLENGDFLTCCSID) VALUE(1047)"

4. Change DontDoThis to DoThis to enable the parameters.

5. Update the following parameter:

Parameter Description Valid values

SQLENGDFLTCCSID Specifies the CCSID to use for CCSID value

SQL engine tables. All host
Sample values:
tables except for Db2 are
assumed to be stored in this • 1047 (LATIN OPEN SYS EB)
CCSID. Where possible, this • 931 (JAPAN MIX EBCDIC)
CCSID should match the client
CCSID used when connecting. • 1390 (JAPAN MIX EBCDIC)

Customizing the server initialization member

The server initialization member AVZSIN00 is a REXX program that you use to set product parameters
and define links and databases. You must customize the server initialization member for your installation
environment.

About this task

The server initialization member is shipped in data set member hlq.SAVZEXEC(AVZSIN00) and may have
been copied to a new data set for customization in the step “Copying target libraries” on page 6.
As you go through the installation, you accept or set parameter values in the server initialization member.
If you are installing the server for the first time, it is recommended that all the default values be accepted.
You can change the values as needed later.
If you are installing a new version of the server over a previous version, the previous server member might
contain parameter values that you modified to meet specific requirements in your environment. In this
case, you should review the initialization member for the previous version for any customizations that
need to be made to the initialization member for the new version.

Procedure
1. Find the line that contains “SHLQ” and provide your own high-level qualifier to define the ISPF data
sets. For example: “SHLQ=AVZ”
2. If you created copies of your target libraries to preserve customizations, find the line that contains
“SHLQ2” and provide your own high-level qualifier to define the Event Facility (SEF) data sets. Ensure
that the HLQ results in proper data set references for these features.
For example: “SHLQ2=AVZ.AVZS”. If you did not create copies of the target libraries, then "SHLQ2"
should contain the same value as "SHLQ1".

18  IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS: Data Virtualization Manager Installation Guide
 3. Review the following default values for the TCP/IP parameters and change the values as necessary.
The following example shows the section of the initialization member in which to make the changes:

“MODIFY PARM NAME(OEPORTNUMBER) VALUE(1200)”

“MODIFY PARM NAME(WSOEPORT) VALUE(1201)”
“MODIFY PARM NAME(TRACEOERW) VALUE(YES)”
“MODIFY PARM NAME(OEKEEPALIVETIME) VALUE(30)”
"MODIFY PARM NAME(PARALLELIO) VALUE(YES)"
“MODIFY PARM NAME(OEPIOPORTNUMBER) VALUE(1204)”

Configuring the started task JCL

To configure the started task JCL, modify the AVZ1PROC (subsystem default ID) member that is in the
hlq.SAVZCNTL library.

About this task

The AVZ1PROC member contains the JCL procedure that is required to run the main address space
(started task).

Procedure
1. Add the HLQ name of the libraries to the hlq parameter.
This parameter sets the server data set allocations to the correct data set names.
2. Include a job step that invokes BPXTCAFF. BPXTCAFF is invoked as a job step in front of an existing
program in a started procedure or submitted job stream. For example:
Note: This step is required only if you are running multiple TCP/IP stacks.

//STEP0 EXEC PGM=BPXTCAFF,PARM=TPNAME

//REALSTEP EXEC PGM=MYPGM,PARM='MyParms'

The desired transport is specified with the PARM= keyword and must be 1 to 8 uppercase characters.
If PARM= is not supplied, or is blank, then the address space's transport affinity will be reset to no
transport selected. This can also be specified as PARM=&VAR, where VAR is a PROC keyword that is
passed in from the Start command or is a static system symbol.
BPXTCAFF sets transport affinity for an address space for the duration of that address space or
job. This affinity persists over job steps within the job, persists over UNIX process termination and
redubbing, and applies to all UNIX processes running within that address space.
3. Confirm that the SYSEXEC DD statement allocates the correct data set name that contains
the customized server initialization member AVZSIN00. This data set was created in job
AVZGNMP1 previously in the step “Creating server data sets” on page 3. The default name is
hlq.SAVZEXEC(AVZSIN00).

Note:
AVZGNMP1 creates a copy of the SEF RULESET (ATH, CMD,EXC, RPC, SQL, TOD, VTB) dataset
outside of SMP/E for entry into the configuration of the server IN00 under the DEFINE RULESET
section. Do not edit the SMP/E copy for these rules. If a new maintenance affects these rules, see
HOLD ACTION for next step about updating the rules created from running AVZGNMP1job.
4. Ensure that the DD AVZMAPP concatenation points to the hlq. data set created in the previous
installation job AVZGNMP1. This data set should be first in the concatenation and is used for storing
user-defined virtual table maps. The hlq. data set, which contains the default virtual table maps that
are part of the product distribution, should be placed last.
5. The server runs as a z/OS started task. Under normal circumstances, the server starts at system
startup and stops before the system shuts down. To start the server on demand, use the following
console command:

S AVZS

Chapter 3. Installing and configuring the server  19

 where AVZS is the subsystem name of the server instance you defined.
Note: If you use a procedure name other than the SSID provided in the example, then you issue the
start command using that procedure name.
6. If you use an automation package to start the system, associate the START command with the VTAM
initialization complete message (IST020I), the TCP/IP initialization complete message (EZB6473I), or
both messages.
7. To verify that the startup is successful, look for the following entries in the server Job Entry Subsystem
(JES) log.

SD74391I OE stack binding port 1200 to IP address 0.0.0.0

SD74391I OE stack binding port 1201 to IP address 0.0.0.0
SD74391I OE stack binding port 1202 to IP address 0.0.0.0

What to do next
If you want to stop the server, issue the following console command:
P AVZS
If you issue a CANCEL command, all available connections terminate with an abend, and the server shuts
down immediately.

Configuring the ISPF application

Configure and invoke the ISPF application.

Before you begin

The Data Virtualization Manager server must be started before you can invoke the ISPF application.

Procedure
1. Edit the hlq.SAVZEXEC(AVZ) member, and replace the data set name in the following statement
with the data set name that you chose for the hlq.SAVZLOAD library:

llib='hlq.SAVZLOAD'

2. Copy the hlq.SAVZEXEC(AVZ) member to a data set that is allocated to the SYSPROC allocation for
all TSO users.
Before starting the ISPF application, you must configure and start your server. See “Configuring the
started task JCL” on page 19
3. To invoke the ISPF application, go to the ISPF command shell and enter the following command:
EX ‘hlq.SAVZEXEC(AVZ)’ ‘SUB(AVZS)’
Where:
• hlq is the high level qualifier.
• AVZS is the subsystem name of the server instance you defined.
All ISPF clients will communicate with the specified subsystem.

Configuring generation data set retrieval

You can configure the server to read only a subset of generation data sets (GDSs) by activating a VTB rule.

About this task

To read only a subset of generation data sets in a generation data group (GDG), you must enable virtual
rule AVZGDGS1 and use the prefix GDG__ in your SQL statement.

20  IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS: Data Virtualization Manager Installation Guide
A VTB rule is provided that allows a subset of the GDG to be read. VTB rule AVZGDGS1 is invoked by the
SEF every time a table with the prefix GDG__ is found in the SQL statement.
The table name in the SQL statement must be of the form:

GDG__NumGens_RelGen_MapName

Where:
• GDG__ is a constant indicating a generation data set request.
• NumGens is a required number 0 through 999 indicating the number of generations to read.
• RelGen is an optional number 0 through 999 indicating the relative generation at which to start reading.
A value of 0 is equivalent to a suffix of (0) in a JCL allocation; a value of 1 is equivalent to (-1), and so on.
• MapName is the table defined in the map data set.
For example, the following request will result in generations HLQ.GDG.STAFF(-3) through
HLQ.GDG.STAFF(-6) being retrieved:

SELECT * FROM GDG__4_3_STAFF

Where the STAFF table specifies a base data set name of HLQ.GDG.STAFF. In other words, with this
request, four generations will be read in descending generation order beginning with relative generation 3
(that is, generations 3, 4, 5, and 6).
Use the procedure in this task to enable sample rule AVZGDGS1.
Additional details:
When a request is made to allocate a data set, it will first be determined if the data set name represents
a GDG base name. If so, a CSI lookup call will be made to return the associated GDS data set names.
If a VTB rule does not specify the number of generations to read and MapReduce is disabled, or if
there is a single generation, the GDG will be allocated using its base data set name, and normal system
concatenation of generation data sets will occur. If MapReduce is enabled and there are multiple active
generation data sets, a number of I/O processing tasks will be created. The number of I/O tasks is
determined as follows:
1. If VPD is in use, the number of VPD I/O threads specified.
2. If MRC is in use, the number of active Client threads defined in the MRC request.
3. If neither VPD nor MRC is in use, the number of I/O threads will be equal to the lesser of the following:
• The number of active generation data sets in the GDG
• The number of generations requested by a VTB rule
• The number of MapReduce tasks specified in the ACIMAPREDUCETASKS configuration
When the number of I/O tasks is equal to or less than the number of generation data sets, each task will
read one or more complete data sets. When the number of I/O tasks exceeds the number of generation
data sets, some tasks will be idle.

Procedure
1. Customize the Data Virtualization Manager configuration member (AVZSIN00) to enable virtual table
rule events by configuring the SEFVTBEVENTS parameter in the member, as follows:

"MODIFY PARM NAME(SEFVTBEVENTS) VALUE(YES)"

2. Access the VTB rules, as follows:

a) In the Data Virtualization Manager server - Primary Option Menu, specify option E, Rules Mgmt.
b) Specify option 2, SEF Rule Management.
c) Enter VTB for Display Only the Ruleset Named.
3. Enable the rule by specifying E next to AVZGDGS1 and pressing Enter.

Chapter 3. Installing and configuring the server  21

 4. Set the rule to Auto-enable by specifying A next to AVZGDGS1 and pressing Enter.
Setting a rule to Auto-enable activates the rule automatically when the server is re-started.

Configuring delimited data support

To be able to process delimited data using virtual tables, you must configure a virtual table rule to activate
delimited data processing and optionally define delimiter values.

About this task

Data Virtualization Manager provides the ability to process delimited data from files, MQ data, and log
streams using virtual tables mapped to MQ or z/OS files. The most common form of delimited data is
comma separate value files (.csv).
When delimited data processing is activated, processing occurs in column order, so the delimited data
must include a value for each column in the map in the correct order to prevent errors. Data conversion
errors will occur if the delimited data is not compatible with the host types of the columns. If conversion
fails, diagnostic information related to the error is automatically logged for troubleshooting problems.
Delimited processing is supported through virtual table rules only. Using virtual table rule options, you
can enable delimited data processing, set column and string delimiter values, and control header record
processing.
A sample rule, AVZMDDLM, is provided that documents these settings. Use the following procedure to
configure the sample rule.

Procedure
1. Customize the Data Virtualization Manager configuration member (AVZSIN00) to enable virtual table
rule events by configuring the SEFVTBEVENTS parameter in the member, as follows:

"MODIFY PARM NAME(SEFVTBEVENTS) VALUE(YES)"

2. Access the VTB rules, as follows:

a) In the Data Virtualization Manager server - Primary Option Menu, specify option E, Rules Mgmt.
b) Specify option 2, SEF Rule Management.
c) Enter VTB for Display Only the Ruleset Named.
3. Customize the AVZMDDLM rule, as follows:
a) Specify S next to AVZMDDLM to edit the rule.
b) Find the vtb.optbdlcv variable and set to 1 to activate delimited processing for a map.
c) Update additional rule options as needed. The following table describes the VTB rule options that
support delimited data processing.

VTB variable Description

vtb.optbdlcv Set to 1 to activate delimited processing for a map.
vtb.optbdlco Set the column delimiter. The default value is the comma
character (,). For example, if you use the colon character (:) as
the column delimiter, specify vtb.optbdlco = ':'.
vtb.optbdlch Set the character field or string delimiter. The default value is the
quotation mark character ("). For example, if you use the hash
character (#) as the string delimiter, specify vtb.optbdlch =
'#'.
vtb.optbdlhr Set to 1 to identify and remove the header record containing
column names. If specified without a header prefix, the system
compares the first token in each line to the first column name in

22  IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS: Data Virtualization Manager Installation Guide
 VTB variable Description
the table to recognize and discard the header. The default is no
header checking.
vtb.optbdlhp Define prefix data that identifies the beginning of a header line
to be discarded. The specified value can contain a maximum
of 32 bytes. This value is compared to the beginning of each
delimited line of data before any tokenization is performed. For
example, vtb.optbdlhp = '"NAME","ADDRESS"'.
Note: If an optbdlhp value is defined, it supersedes any
optbdlhr setting and the optbdlhr value is ignored.

d) Save your changes and exit the editor.

4. Enable the rule by specifying E next to AVZMDDLM and pressing Enter.
5. Set the rule to Auto-enable by specifying A next to AVZMDDLM and pressing Enter.
Setting a rule to Auto-enable activates the rule automatically when the server is re-started.

Configuring alternate started task ID

About this task
You can configure the parameter ALTSTARTEDTASKID to build or update the metadata cache in the Data
Virtualization Manager. When this ID is configured, the server always uses this ID during startup for
any metadata cache refresh queries. Normal user queries, that use DRDA, use the primary user id and
password.

Procedure
1. Add the following line to the IN00 file.

MODIFY PARM NAME(ALTSTARTEDTASKID) VALUE(ID)

In the above line, ID is the alternate started task id.

2. Restart the server to make the changes effect.

Results
Verify the configuration of the parameter ALTSTARTEDTASKID in the server trace. To open the server
trace, select option B Server Trace from the ISPF primary menu.

Verifying the Data Virtualization Manager server installation

To verify the server installation, create a sample VSAM file and a virtual table, and then run a query that
accesses the VSAM data.

Procedure
1. Create the sample VSAM file on the mainframe that hosts the server. Run the AVZGNSTF member in
the hlq.SAVZCNTL data set to allocate and load the sample VSAM file.
The job should complete with a condition code of 0.
2. Create the staffvs virtual table. Run the AVZIVVS1 member in the hlq.SAVZCNTL data set to
perform a batch extract of the sample VSAM file listing and create a virtual table that formats the
result set that is returned from the VSAM file.

Chapter 3. Installing and configuring the server  23

 This step runs a query against the sample VSAM file. The job should complete with a condition code of
0.

Invoking the ISPF application using the command shell

You can invoke the Data Virtualization Manager server administrative menu by using the ISPF Command
Shell.

Before you begin

• The Data Virtualization Manager server must be running.
• Your security administrator must give your TSO user ID READ, UPDATE, or both authorities. You need
READ authority to view resource lists. You need UPDATE authority to modify server information.

Procedure
1. From the ISPF Primary Option Menu, enter the option 6 and press ENTER.
2. Enter the following command in the ISPF Command Shell:
• If you are only using the Data Virtualization Manager server:

'hlq.SAVZEXEC(AVZ)' 'SUB(AVZS)'

• If you are using the Instrumentation Server:

'hlq.SAVZEXEC(AVZ)' 'SUB(AVZS) TBSSID(AVZS)'

where hlq is your high-level qualifier, SUB (AVZS) specifies the subsystem name for the
Data Virtualization Manager server, and TBSSID(AVZS) specifies the subsystem name for the
Instrumentation Server.

Results
The Primary Option Menu panel is displayed. This panel specifies the ID of the subsystem to which
you are connected and information about the product version. From this panel, you access all of the
functionality in the product.

Chapter 6. Installing JDBC Gateway
The JDBC Gateway is a IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS distributed application server that allows
direct connectivity to JDBC data sources. Install the JDBC Gateway to connect directly to JDBC data
sources.

Before you begin

Before installing the JDBC Gateway, review the following points:
• For an overview of the JDBC Gateway solution, see Using.
• The following terminology is used in the installation procedure:
– JDBC Gateway server. The server is the backend component that allows communication with the IBM
Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS server.
– JDBC Gateway administrative console. The administrative console is the front-end web component
that you use to configure your data sources. Only a single user (web client) can access the JDBC
Gateway administrative console at a time. When installing the JDBC Gateway, you must specify a
specific user ID for this purpose. This user ID is an internal application ID that allows access to the
web user interface.
– Port for the Web UI. This port will be used to access the Web-based administrative console and is
specified during the installation procedure.
Note: The JDBC Gateway also uses another port to listen for incoming DRDA requests. This DRDA
listener port is set later when configuring the JDBC Gateway.
• Before installing the JDBC Gateway, verify that all installation requirements are met, as follows:

System component Requirement

Permissions You have appropriate user logon credentials and user privileges on your
client system to install the JDBC Gateway. For example, to install and
deploy the JDBC Gateway on Windows, you may need to run with
administrator privileges depending on the target location.
Supported platforms The JDBC Gateway is a pure Java application and therefore can be
deployed on any platform that supports Java 8 or higher.
System memory Minimum of 1 GB
Hard disk space Minimum of 500 MB
Software – Java 8 is required to install and deploy JDBC Gateway.
– One of the following web browsers (with JavaScript support enabled)
must be used to access the JDBC Gateway administrative console:
- Google Chrome browser V50.0.2661.102 or later
- Mozilla Firefox V47.0.1 or later
- Microsoft Edge V25.10586.0.0 or later
- Microsoft Internet Explorer V10 or later
- Apple Safari browser V9.0.3 or later
– Database connectivity requires an appropriate JDBC driver for each type
of data source that is accessed.

 About this task
Use the following procedure to install the JDBC Gateway. This installation installs the JDBC Gateway
server and administrative console.
During the installation, you must specify a user ID to be used for the JDBC Gateway administrative
console. When using the JDBC Gateway administrative console, only a single user can access the
administrative console at a time.
As part of the installation, the following actions occur:
• The jgate.properties file is created, which contains the site-specific settings.
• Start and stop scripts appropriate to the platform are created. The installer creates cmd scripts if you
are running on Windows and sh scripts if you are running on Unix or Linux.
Considerations for USS installation: For installation in USS, it is recommended that you define the
following environment variables:

export IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859-1"
export _BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON

When the installer generates start and stop scripts, the following actions occur depending on these
variables:
• If you have not set the recommended environment variables, the scripts will be generated in EBCDIC.
You can run the gateway as normal for Unix using the following command: sh startServer.sh
• If you set the IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS variable, the scripts will be generated in ASCII, and you will need
to use the following command: chtag -tc ISO8859-1 <file>. (Tagging in USS basically means
_BPXK_AUTOCVT must be ON if you want to edit or execute the script in the shell.)
Files generated by the JDBC Gateway, such as log files and the jgate.properties file, will
be generated in ASCII regardless of the aforementioned environment variable settings (except for
jetty.out, which is in EBCDIC). In order to browse these files natively in USS, you must use the chtag
command and set _BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON.

Procedure
1. Go to IBM Fix Central page - https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/.
2. Under Find Product section, in the Product Selector list, select IBM Data Virtualization Manager for
z/OS, and then press Enter.
3. In the Installed Version list, select a required version number.

Chapter 7. Installing AVZ interface for ACI
This section provides the installation requirements and installation steps for the AVZ interface for ACI
when used with Software AG’s Natural via CICS and Batch.

Before you begin

Consider the following when installing the AVZ Interface for ACI:
• If using the Natural language with AVZ ACI support, the minimum recommended version of Natural is V
4.2.5.
• If you are using Natural security, you must create the AVZ Natural Library before adding Natural source
distribution. If you are not using Natural Security, the library is created automatically.
• For CICS, the AVZ interface for CICS/TS must be installed.

About this task

Perform the following steps to install the AVZ interface for ACI:

Procedure
1. Install the AVZ server. See Chapter 3, “Installing and configuring the server,” on page 7.
2. Modify the AVZ initialization EXEC.
Use the MODIFY PARM command to set following parameters located in the AVZ initialization EXEC,
xVZyIN00:

“MODIFY PARM NAME(ACIPREALLOC VALUE(100)”

“MODIFY PARM NAME(ACIDEFAULTCONNNAME) VALUE(EXCS)”
“MODIFY PARM NAME(ACIPERSISTTIMEOUT) VALUE(CLIENT)”
“MODIFY PARM NAME(ACICONNPW) VALUE(NO)”
“MODIFY PARM NAME(ACISRVRCONNINT) VALUE(25)”
“MODIFY PARM NAME(ACISETSRVRINTTIME) VALUE(YES)”
“MODIFY PARM NAME(ACICICSGENERIC) VALUE(ACICSRV)”
“MODIFY PARM NAME(ACIBATCHGENERIC) VALUE(ACIBSRV)”
“MODIFY PARM NAME(ACITRACE) VALUE(YES)”

3. Assemble the ACI translation/migration table.

You must assign a default DV Server subsystem to route all service application ACI requests. You can
do this with the ACI translation/migration table (AVZRTX table) provided with the AVZ interface for
ACI. The AVZRTX table is initially loaded by AVZCTRUI (the ACI Task Related User Exit Initialization
program), and is viewed by AVZCITRU (the ACI Task Related User Exit).
The minimal assembled module must contain the TYPE=INITIAL card with a default defined AVZ
subsystem and a TYPE=FINAL card to set the default subsystem.
Note: The default AVZ server subsystem can be overridden by using the ”#ETBCB-ACI-ID” field in
the REGISTER function to specify a AVZ server subsystem.
If you are using Natural via CICS, the AVZRTX table can also be used by AVZCINAT, the Natural “front
end” program, to obtain information to start the Natural session. AVZCIFEN is a CICS module that
allows the passing of the COMMAREA to the invoked ACI server, if the CICS transaction is associated
with the AVZCIFEN program. If you associate the transaction name with the program AVZCIFEN when
defining the transaction to CICS, you can pass Natural startup parameters to the transaction using
the COMMAREA. In turn, AVZCIFEN transfers control (EXEC CICS XCTL) to a program of your choice.
If AVZCINAT is used as the program to which AVZCIFEN transfers control, the COMMAREA must be
formatted with the Natural nucleus program name (eight bytes, space padded if necessary), followed
by a comma, followed by the CICS transaction ID for Natural (four bytes, space padded if necessary),
followed by a comma, followed by the Natural startup parameters.

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2017, 2022 39

 Note: If the AVZCIFEN program is used to specify the Natural startup parameters, as a minimum, the
AVZRTX table must be assembled with the TYPE=INITIAL card with a default AVZ subsystem defined
and a TYPE=FINAL card to set the default subsystem.
To assemble the AVZRTX table:
a) Use data set member AVZACJBH, located in HLQ.SAVZSAMP. This member contains the source that
needs to be assembled for the ACI translation/migration table.
b) Install the ACI translation/migration table into a load library that is concatenated to the DFHRPL
DD statement for CICS which may include the SAVZCLOD dataset or for batch include the AVZRTX
table within the STEPLIB of the batch application.
The following example shows an example AVZRTX entry with the required minimum:

ACI TYPE=INITIAL,SUBS=xVZy DEFINITION START / DEFAULT

ACI TYPE=FINAL DEFINITION END

4. Link the stubs:

a) Link the AVZCICIS stub into your Natural CICS nucleus, using the following example:

//AVZLIB DD DSN=HLQ.SAVZCLOD,DISP=SHR
.
.
CHANGE BROKER(AVZACI) <--CHANGING THE DEFAULT NAME
INCLUDE AVZLIB(AVZCICIS) FOR AVZ ACI STUB
INCLUDE NATLIB(NATLAST) FINAL INCLUDE

You must add AVZACI as a CSTATIC parameter, as shown in the following example:

CSTATIC=(CMMSG,AVZACI)

b) Link the AVZRBIS stub into your Natural Batch nucleus, using the following example:

//AVZLIB DD DSN=HLQ.SAVZLOAD,DISP=SHR
.
.
CHANGE BROKER(AVZACI) <--CHANGING THE DEFAULT NAME
INCLUDE AVZLIB(AVZRBIS) FOR AVZ ACI STUB
INCLUDE NATLIB(NATLAST) FINAL INCLUDE

You must add AVZACI as a CSTATIC parameter, as shown in the following example:

CSTATIC=(CMMSG,AVZACI)

5. Create CICS resource definitions.

The AVZ interface for ACI requires several resources that include programs, a transaction, and an
intrapartition transient data queue (TDQ) to be defined in all CICS regions that will be using this
component.
Note: These resources should have been defined during the installation of the AVZ interface for
CICS/TS, a prerequisite for this component. AVZCICSD (in HLQ.SAVZCNTL library) is the name of the
member used to define these resources. This member defines AVZCTRUI and AVZCITRU to CICS for
the loading and viewing of the AVZRTX table (see Step 3).
6. Assemble CICS PLTPI for ACI task related user exit.
a) Add the following entry to the program list table/program initialized (PLTPI) table.

DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY, PROGRAM=AVZCTRUI

This entry should follow the first of the following statements to ensure that the AVZCTRUI will be
executed in phase 2 of the CICS PLTI process:

DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY, PROGRAM=DFHDELIM

b) Code the appropriate parameter in CICS startup.

40  IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS: Data Virtualization Manager Installation Guide
 PLTPI=xx

where xx is the suffix value given to the DFHPLTI table.

7. In order to associate the data set modules with CICS, add HLQ.SAVZCLOD data set to the CICS
DFHRPL data set concatenation.
8. Restart the CICS region.
Because the CICS installation for the AVZ interface for ACI requires use of a CICS task related user
exit, you should restart your CICS region. The following message appears on the console if the CICS
Task Related User Exit correctly installs and is enabled:

AVZ0364I AVZCITRU is started and enabled.

9. Add Natural source distribution.

Customize and submit AVZACNLD, located in HLQ.SAVZCNTL. This is a Natural Systems utility that
will load the Natural environment objects into the AVZ Natural library. These objects include Natural
samples and ACI Server programs.
Note: If you are using Natural security, you must create the AVZ Natural Library before performing this
step. If you are not using Natural Security, the library is created automatically.
