Overview of the LGC interface
BMC Configuration Component for z/OS
(
LGC
) provides ISPF panels in which you can enter or change product or solution option set values.
The Product Option Sets panel is one of the basic panels that you use to create new option sets. It lists each product and solution for which you can configure option sets.
Product Option Sets panel
Expandable sections
The LGC interface provides expandable and collapsible sections that group options into categories. Expandable sections are identified with a plus sign (+) to the left of the section's title.
Navigation in sections
The following figure shows an example of the Product Option Sets panel, which has a section for each product.

Instance indicators for a section
If a section title has a number after it in parentheses, more than one instance for that section exists. For example, the following figure shows an LGC interface panel for the SQL Performance solution.
Example of instance indicators
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DBCRIOPT - DOMPLEX FOR DBCRI101
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
Filter: Modified More:
+ DOMPLEX Parameters Parameters that apply to entire DOMPLEX
+ Data Collector List (1) Data Collector(DBC) subsystems in DOMPLEX
+ DB2 Monitor List (12) DB2 Sub-systems to be monitored
+ OutGp DCID DspSize (6) Output Groups - valid range: 001-256
****************************** End of List *******************************
+/- expandable section (enter ? for action menu), > zoomable field
In this example, the option set contains:
- One instance of the Data Collector List section
- Twelve instances of the DB2 Monitor List section
- Six instances of the OutGp DCID DspSize section
If no number exists, that section is unique and can have only one set of values.
If you expand a section that has an instance indicator, each instance is displayed. For example, the following figure shows six output groups that are associated with the OutGp DCID DspSize section. This example also shows the first output group expanded to show its subsections.

Drop-down menus
The top of an LGC interface panel provides drop-down menus (File, Filter, Confirm, and Help). You can use these menus to manage your files, filter the option sets that are displayed in expanded sections of the panel, and obtain Help.
Action list
The action list at the bottom of an LGC interface panel indicates allowable actions or line commands for that panel. From an option sets panel, you can perform the following actions on option sets:
- Browse (B)
- Edit (E)
- Copy (C)
- Delete (D)
- Insert (I)
- Rename (R)
To perform an action, type the corresponding letter next to the option set upon which you want to perform that action. For example, to edit an option set, enter E next to the option set's name.
Online Help
LGC provides online Help for panels, fields in panels, and messages.
You can access Help in the following ways:
- To access Help for a panel, use the Help drop-down menu and then select General Help or Product Help. The Product Help choice will not be available unless you are editing or browsing an option set.
- To access Help for an entry field, place the cursor on the field and press F1.
- To access additional information about any message that the LGC interface displays, press F1 when the message is displayed. The interface will then display a longer form of the message.
