Installing MSO

These installation instructions assume you have available FOCUS documentation.

There are three ways to access MSO: from CICS terminals, from TSO sessions, and directly from VTAM. Depending upon which of the access methods that are to be installed, not all installation steps need to be performed.

The installation steps include:

  1. FOCUS installation
  2. System programmer tasks
  3. File set up
  4. Basic MSO customization: configuration file and JCL
  5. MSO subsystems set up
  6. Database data adapters set up
  7. Advanced MSO customization: exits and zaps
