Usage

This parameter is frequently specified as an override in the apply request. If you do not specify this parameter in the request, the High-speed Apply Engine attempts to locate a file name, data set name, or DD name with the default value.

Because this parameter accepts a value of None, High-speed Apply Engine ignores any file, data set, or a DD statement with a name of 'none' (regardless of uppercase or lowercase characters).

For UNIX and Windows, the file that you specify must exist on the server where you run High-speed Apply Engine. If the file is not in the current directory, you must provide the complete path and file name. For more information, see Data set and file names in configuration files.

For the configuration file, when you do not specify a file name, High-speed Apply Engine uses the default configuration file name (apeconfig.ini).

For mainframe targets, you can specify either a data set name or a DD name, as follows:

• If you specify a name that is longer than eight characters, High-speed Apply Engine treats it as a fully qualified data set name. The data set must already be allocated and cataloged.

• If you specify a name that is eight characters or fewer, High-speed Apply Engine treats it as a DD name. The DD name must refer to a DD statement in the same apply request. If the character string is not a valid DD name, High-speed Apply Engine treats it as a data set name.

  For the configuration file, you can use the DD statement to refer to multiple configuration files. For more information, see Multiple configuration files for DB2 on mainframe targets.
