Running discovery when the JES member name and MVS system name do not match.

If your MVS™ system name and the JES member name do not match, and you are running a z/OS® version earlier than version 1.11, you must run some additional steps to complete the discovery process. When you run a discovery CICS® DA loads the discovered model into a CICS DA Project.

About this task

This task explains how to populate the system model when your JES member name and your system name do not match, and you are running a version of z/OS before version 1.11. You must have an active CICS DA connection before you can initiate discovery.

Note: If a system, CICS region, or one of the other resources is not active, it is not discovered; only active resources are discovered. CICS DA discovers both managed and unmanaged CICS regions, but it does not discover any associated resources for the unmanaged CICS regions.

Procedure

  1. Open the CICS DA perspective. The DA Explorer view displays a list of your DA connection names. Right-click the connection name that you want to run the discovery against, and then click Discover. The discovery request is sent to the CICS DA server. A message is written to the CICS DA Console, and the status, Running discovery is shown in the workbench status bar. When discovery completes another message is written to the CICS DA Console, and the Console view is brought to the front so that the view is visible.
  2. In the DA Explorer view, right-click the connection name that you ran the discovery against, and then click Load. The Load CICS Deployment Assistant Model window is displayed. The model is retrieved from the server and a preview of the model is displayed in the window. If your JES member name and your system name do not match, and you are running a version of z/OS earlier than version 1.11, the MVS images are discovered but they have no content.
  3. Click Finish to load the model into the CICS DA client.
  4. In the DA Explorer view, expand the model to show the MVS images. For each MVS image where the JES member name and the system name do not match, run the following steps:
    1. Open the image in the MVS Image editor by double-clicking the image name, or right-click the name and click Open.
    2. In the JES Member Name field, replace the name with the correct one. Press Ctrl+S to save the change, and close the editor.
  5. When all the changes are complete, right-click the connection name in the DA Explorer view and then click Discover. The server reruns discovery, but this time it discovers any resources associated with the MVS images.
  6. When discovery is complete, right-click the connection name and then click Load. Click Finish to load the model into the CICS DA client.

Results

The model is updated with the discovered resource information.
