Running LICTEST

The JCL for running LICTEST is provided in:

somnode.SERCOMC.VnRnMn.CNTL(LICTEST)

Specifying the Parameters

Parameters are specified using the PARM parameter on the JCL EXEC statement. The following example shows the parameters:

PARM=’PRODUCT=207,VERSION=7.1,LANGUAGE=ENU’

You can run LICTEST with no parameters if you only want to display system information about the system on which it is running. In that case, no license checking will be performed.

Specify the parameters as follows:

Parameter Description
PRODUCT Specify the numeric product ID. Refer to the names file for valid values. If no product ID is specified, LICTEST will only display system information, such as capacity, LPAR name, and LPAR group, but will not perform any license check.
VERSION Specify the product version and release number. For example, 7.1.
LANGUAGE Specify the three-character language code. The default is LANGUAGE=ENU for US English.
NOTE ENU is the only available option at this time.
There must be a message module for the specified language. The message modules can be found in somnode.SERCOMC.VnRnMn.LOAD. The member names are LICM0xxx, where xxx is the language code.

Specifying the Data Sets

Specify the data set names used in the following DD statements:

DD Name Description
STEPLIB ● Specify the following libraries: The SERCOMC load library, which contains the LICTEST and LICDSN modules. To validate licenses from CSA, use the default LICDSN module (contains a null license DSN) that was delivered in this library. If there is a valid DSN in the LICDSN module, that license file will take precedence over the licenses in CSA.

● The Language Environment runtime libraries, CEE.SCEERUN and CEE.SCEERUN2, must be specified if they are not included in the system link list.
SERLIC License file. Specify without any member name. The SERLIC DD is optional. To dynamically allocate the license file using the LICDSN module, or to access licenses in CSA, remove this DD statement.
SYSPRINT Program messages.
SYSNAME Specify the name of your names file.
