The SSA-NAME3 mainframe release is typically delivered on a CD as a zip file containing a number of library datasets. Refer to the
SSA-NAME3 Release Structure
section below for more details on what the libraries contain.
Following is an outline of the steps needed to install SSA-NAME3 on the mainframe:
Unzip the install file from the CD to a local HDD
Transfer the unzipped files from the local HDD to Mainframe datasets
The following is an outline of the extra install steps required to support CICS applications that will call SSA-NAME3, rather than invoke a database stored procedure that calls SSA-NAME3.
Copy the required SSA-NAME3 modules into a CICS Load Library and define them to CICS.
Customize the JCL used to bring the SSA-NAME3 Server up and down (N3UP, N3DOWN).
These steps are detailed in the Installing section.
