Lesson 2: Create property groups to associate with Project B z/OS subprojects

The property group associated with Project B for assembling and linking the Global Auto Mart tutorial is slightly different than those used for assembling Project A. This lesson will start with the property group you previously created and walk you through making the changes for the property group needed for Project B.

To create property groups for z/OS® Project B:

  1. Make sure you are in the z/OS Projects or Enterprise Development perspective and are connected to the host system.
  2. Open the Property Group Manager and expand the host system. You should see all the property groups associated with the host. Right click on the first property group you created, GAM0MC1 Assemble, and select Copy.
  3. In the dialog box that appears, change the name of the property group to Assemble and Link. You will use this property group to assemble and link the z/OS subprojects for Project B. Click OK.
  4. Open the Assembler tab at the bottom of the Property Group Editor, and select Procedures and Steps from the left panel of options.
  5. Expand the ELAXAFASM procedure, and highlight the ASM step that appears.
  6. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. In the Assembler Options text field, replace the existing options with SYSPARM(MAP).
  7. Check to make sure that the Listing Output Data Set and the Object Deck Data Set are set to the correct data set on the host system.
  8. Check to make sure that the Macro Libraries correspond to those that are on your host system. Contact your systems administrator if you have questions about where these libraries are located.
  9. Remove the text that you entered in the Additional JCL text box.
  10. Open the Link tab at the bottom of the Property Group Editor page, and select Procedures and Steps from the left panel of options.
  11. Select the ELAXFLNK procedure and select the LINK step when it appears.
  12. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. In the Load Module Location, enter the load library that CICS® uses. Contact your systems administrator if you are unsure of where this library is on your system.
  13. Save the property group.
