Installing Finalist for z/OS CICS - Finalist - 10.0

The USPS CASS regulations now require DPV, LACS^Link, and Suite^Link to run in CASS mode. Other ancillary databases like EWS are not required, but provide additional coding accuracy. While online access is not required to run in CASS mode, consistent results between online and batch can only be achieved if the same process is followed in both cases. To install Finalist z/OS CICS, follow these steps.

1. Follow the steps to install Finalist for z/OS in Chapter 4, Installing Finalist for z/OS.
2. Edit and submit member INSTALLC from the FNSOURCE PDS to build the Finalist CICS system from the object members. Consult your CICS systems programmer for your system details. Edit member INSTALLC using the comments at the beginning of the member.
3. After building the Finalist CICS option, add your Finalist key to the Finalist CICS load library. To do this, edit and submit member KEYSTORE. You can find KEYSTORE in your Finalist FNSOURCE library. Perform the edits using the comments at the beginning of the member.
4. After building the Finalist CICS option, you will need to add the Finalist requirements to your CICS region. For the Finalist CICS option, see PBFN015D in CISOURCE for the RDO entries required. PBFN015D references Finalist and other ancillary database file names. These should be edited for accurate names (change hlq.). Member RDOJCL (in the CISOURCE library) contains starter JCL for running RDO. Consult your CICS systems programmer for your system details.
