Customizing after installation
Job | Macro name | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
$730DOP2 | $ACKOPTS | Establishes the defaults for the basic processing options | |
$532SOPT | $AUPSMAC | Contains BMCSORT and dynamic work file allocation options |
These jobs assemble options macros. The macros contain the CHECK PLUS processing options and the values for those options that are shipped with CHECK PLUS and BMCSORT. When an Installation System-generated customization job is submitted, it links the ACK$OPTS installation options module in the APF-authorized library that is designated by your site. If any values for these options were changed during customization, the new values override the values from the options macro.
You can customize the installation of CHECK PLUS by changing the values for the CHECK PLUS installation options. However, if you change any of the values in $730DOP2 or $532SOPT after the CHECK PLUS has been installed, you must rerun the jobs for these changes to take effect.
You can also create additional options modules that allow you to use different values for these options for different runs of CHECK PLUS. For example, you might use the default installation options module for most jobs, but create another options module with customized values for certain options for special situations.
For information about specifying an options module at run time, see Building-CHECK-PLUS-jobs. For more information about customizing your installation of CHECK PLUS, see the Customizing after installation
