Preparing for First-Time Installation Operating System Requirements
Chapter 2. Installing the Basic System 2-5
Operating System Requirements
Some BIM-EPIC utilities are written in FCOBOL. If your installation does not have COBOL,
you must catalog the following program to a VSE library that is available whenever the BIM-
EPIC system is active:
// OPTION CATAL
PHASE $$BFCMUL,+0
// EXEC ASSEMBLY
$$BFCMUL CSECT
DC CL8'$$BFCMUL'
SVC 11
END
/*
// EXEC LNKEDT
If your installation already uses FCOBOL, do not catalog the program above.
Some of BIM-EPIC’s optional features require certain functions in the VSE supervisor and/or
IPL procedure:
BIM-EPIC Feature Required VSE Parameter
Sharing the DSN Catalog and disk pool space between
real or virtual machines.
,SHR on IPL ADD command
for every DASD shared.
Recording job accounting information with the Recorder
File, and Job Management Control Language.
JA=YES on IPL SYS
command.
BIM-EPIC support can be provided in a VSE Guest environment under VM or in a native
VSE environment.
In the VSE Guest environment under VM, the IBM VSE Guest Server (VGS) and LIBRCMS
product must be installed.
In the native VSE environment, the IBM Library Control Device Driver (LCDD) must be
installed.
See 5-60 in this manual for more information.
BIM-EPIC support is provided using the VM IUCV facility. BIM-EPIC must be running on a
VSE Guest machine. The Memorex Library Management Software (LMS) product must be
operational as a CMS Guest. See 5-64 in this manual for more information.
