Upgrading XP7 mainframe agent
This section explains how to upgrade XP7 mainframe agent.
Notes for upgrading
If you upgrade XP7 mainframe agent from version 5.7 or earlier to version 6.0 or later, you need to
define one of the following profiles in the FACILITY class of the Resource Access Control Facility
(RACF), and then grant the view permission for the defined profile to the administrator user ID:
• STGADMIN.YKA.BCM.YKQUERY profile
• STGADMIN.YKA.BCM.COMMANDS profile
For details, see “Setting up the Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) when linking with Replication
Manager” on page 28.
Checks before upgrading
Checking whether to upgrade Device Manager
Because XP7 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 XP7 mainframe agent was installed
