Overview of the enhancements

This section describes the following enhancements:

  • Control File performance parameters now support the use of the JES2 MASDEF parameters by default, including support for MASDEF CYCLEMGT=AUTO.
  • New JESplex members that are not defined in the active SLM Policy no longer cause SLM to quiesce on the other defined members.  Defining the new member in the Automation File will allow SLM to commence normal processing on the new member.  All other members are unaffected.
  • You can now rename the Automation File. The installation can now specify a space for a new Automation File.

Superseded APAR

APAR TR71603 is superseded in this release.
