Administering BMC Configuration Component for z/OS (LGC)
The
BMC Configuration Component for z/OS
(
LGC
) component separates product or solution installation from configuration. This section describes how to use the LGC interface, how to create and manage option sets, and how to issue commands to the LGC component.
LGC utilizes a client/server model. The DBC is the server, and the ISPF online interface and LGCUTIL batch utility are the clients.
Through its online interface, LGC simplifies configuration as follows:
- Saves time by:
- Providing default option values for you, but allowing you to change them if needed
- Consolidating the process into scrollable panels that feature a simple navigation model (expanding sections on the panel)
- Retaining data for subsequent installations and upgrades
- Validates any option values that you enter
- Lets you link to the configuration interface from within a product or solution
- Captures option value changes that you make after installation and initial configuration
- Provides maintenance via PTFs
- Supports multiple screen sizes (for example, MOD 2, MOD 4, MOD 5, or custom-sized terminals)
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.
