2.1 Deployment Planning

  • Review Section 3.0, Installing the ACF2 Driver and Section 5.0, Configuring the ACF2 Driver.

  • Is this a new installation or an upgrade?

  • Consider where and how you will install each component.

    The driver shim libraries (SAMPLIB, IDMLOAD, ACF2EXEC) must be installed on a volume that is shared by each system that shares the security system database.

  • If you will use the Publisher channel to track changes made in ACF2, you will need to:

    • Run the driver shim started task on only one system that shares the ACF2 security system database.

    • Create the change log data set on a volume that is shared by all systems that share the security system database.

    • Install the Exit routines on each system that shares the security system database.

    • Schedule an IPL for the Exit installations.

  • How will you stage, test and roll out your deployment of the ACF2 driver?

  • What are the host names or IP addresses of your Metadirectory server and the ACF2 system that will run the driver shim started task?

  • Will you use the default TCP port numbers (see Table 2-1) and are they accessible through your network infrastructure?
