The Problem
Implementing CA SCMM is complex, time consuming and costly
4 April 10, 2023 Rapid Implementation Overview Copyright © 2008 CA
The ProblemOnce SCMM has been installed, the administrator must:
Determine what their environment\life cycle will look like, i.e., number of environments\stages\mapping; customize their Defaults table accordingly
Analyze their existing inventory and determine the types, processors and processor groups they require
Determine the level of access that is to be granted to the different groups that will access the SCMM environment and use that information to configure their External Security Interface table
Allocate the VSAM Package, Element Catalog, ACM and MCF files
5 April 10, 2023 Rapid Implementation Overview Copyright © 2008 CA
The Problem (continued)
Allocate Base and Delta libraries for all systems and types, for each environment and stage
Allocate all processor output datasets for each system, subsystem & type within every environment and stage
Translate JCL, CLIST and other procedures that are currently used to compile and link modules to processors and processor groups
Define their Systems and Subsystems to each environment
Try to make it look just like what they currently have!

The Solution: Rapid Implementation
Rapid Implementation is a series of steps that allow you to perform a standard implementation of CA SCM for Mainframe using a preconfigured environment.
After you gain experience using CA SCM for Mainframe, you can modify, scale, or customize the basic implementation.
Availability: As SupportConnect PTF #QO92607, which will be included with r12 SP 1

OverviewHow Rapid Implementation Works
All components of RI are delivered in two files:• iprfx.iqual.RIJCL contains jobs, VSAM definitions, SCL and
table source modules
• iprfx.iqual.RIPROC contains the processors used for RI
A setup job sets site-specific parameters in the supplied members
Once the setup job has been run, the remaining jobs are ready to be executed to configure the CA SCM for Mainframe environment
Verification is performed using supplied test data to confirm the configured environment is set up properly

Overview (continued)Pre-Implementation Tasks
The User Must:
Complete the @@UPDJCL Parameters Worksheet Defines site dependent values such as system &
subsystem names, version of COBOL in use, etc., e.g.:o APPL@SYS – Application system name
o APPL@SBS – Application subsystem name
o COB@TYP - COBII or COBLE
o IPRFX – Install HLQ
o IQUAL – Install 2nd qualifier
o Etc.

Overview (continued)Pre-Implementation Tasks
Verify that the CA SCM for Mainframe libraries are authorized and, preferably, link listed
The User may: (but should wait till later to..)
Secure data sets using the Alternate ID
Set up access security rules using the security interface (ESI)

Execution
Update the Rapid Implementation Members
Edit the @@UPDJCL member to reflect the values selected in the Parameter Worksheet
Submit @@UPDJCL
Execute Primary Implementation Jobs 0010 thru 0200 Allocates all required files
Creates the CA SCM for Mainframe Configuration Tables
Defines the systems, subsystems, types, etc.

Execution (continued)
Execute Verification Jobs 1000 thru 1030 Adds test elements
Defines a promotion package
Executes the promotion package multiple times
Execute Optional Implementation Jobs 2070 thru 2170 Creates an additional system and subsystem
Execute Optional Implementation Jobs 2200 & 2210 Creates a sandbox subsystem
