Information
Space announcement We are no longer updating this version of the documentation for the infrastructure components (DBC, LGC, and NGL).  You can no longer leave comments on it. For the latest version of the documentation, see Common Mainframe Infrastructure 2022 release.

Working with option sets

LGC creates XML files called option sets to contain all of your product’s configuration values. Some products allow multiple option sets. For those products, you can use different option sets, or configurations, to run different jobs.

Option set names can be up to eight characters long and can contain any of the following characters:

  • Uppercase A through Z
  • 0 through 9
  • Special characters !, @, $, or #

The first character of the name must be an uppercase alphabetic character (A through Z) or one of the following symbols: @, $, or #. The name must conform to PDS member naming standards.

Warning

Note

Individual BMC products that use LGC might include different naming standards. However, the information in the noted guidelines describes the default standard.

For more specific information about the option sets that your product uses and the values that the option sets contain, see the documentation for your product.

This topic explains how to:

  • Access the online LGC interface
  • Create a new option set
  • Edit an existing option set
  • Rename an option set
  • Delete an obsolete option set
  • Filter the values to display within an option set
