Adding RTCS programs to the z/OS PPT

The RTCS Initiator, RTCS subsystem, and the RTCS Generalized Server must be executed in a started task address space with z/OS specific attributes. The z/OS Program properties table (PPT) contains the definitions for the job step program that are used in these PROcs. Before you start RTCS, update the z/OS PPT to include the entries required for RTCS.

Note

If you are sharing the data sets, you must complete this task only once per sysplex. Otherwise, complete this task for each of the target z/OS images.

To add RTCS programs to PPT by using the member OSZSCHED of the SMP/E TOSZCNTL target library

Use one of the following methods:

  • Update the existing SCHEDxx member by performing the following tasks:
    1. Merge the contents of member OSZSCHED into an existing SCHEDxx member.

    2. Refresh the PPT by issuing the following z/OS operator command:

      SET SCH=(xx)

      The variable xx is the suffix of any existing SCH member.

  • Create a new SCHEDyy member by performing the following tasks:
    1. Copy the sample OSZSCHED member into either SYS1.PARMLIB or a logical parameter library data set and name it as SCHEDyy.
    2. Update the IEASYSxx member to specify the new SCHEDyy member and any existing SCH members.

    3. Refresh the PPT to have the additional entries in the new member become effective by issuing the following z/OS operator command:

      SET SCH=(xx,yy)

      The variable xx is the suffix of any existing SCH member (named SCHEDyy).

      Warning

      The contents of all SCH member suffixes in a SET command replace existing entries in storage. Therefore, you must include existing PPT member suffixes in the list in addition to the new suffixes that you add.
