Milestone 5 PARMLIB Implementation
Task 5.1: Implement the PARMLIB
Starting with release 17.02, BMC mainframe products, including Performance Test, use parameter libraries (PARMLIBs) in conjunction with the BMC AMI Common Mainframe Services Controller (CMSC) to configure each product as well as common components. The CMSC was installed as part of the Enterprise Common Components installation.
In this task, you will implement the PARMLIB for Performance Test.
This task is necessary for both a new installation and an upgrade of Performance Test to release 17.02.
Task 5.1.1: Create the Default Member
Create your HSCM00 member in your PARMLIB. Member HSCM00 from the Performance Testcustomization library, .INSTALL, is typically chosen as the source to be copied to the PARMLIB. This approach may require little or no modification of parameter values before use. You could, alternatively, choose either of the other samples as a starting point to create your own member and set parameter values as needed.
In the case of a product upgrade, you may already have an HSCM00 in your PARMLIB. You can choose to simply edit that member, changing parameter settings as needed. Use the generated .INSTALL member HSCM00 as a guide to setting parameter values and identifying any new parameters added to the product since your existing member was created.
The following table describes sample sources of PARMLIB member HSCM.
Performance Test
’s PARMLIB sample members
Library | Member | Contents |
|---|---|---|
Target library | HSCM00 | Sample Performance Test parameter member with only core parameters that must be set for Performance Test to function. |
Target library | HSCMALL | Sample Performance Test PARMLIB parameter member with every product parameter and descriptions on coding values for them. |
Configuration library | HSCM00 | Initially this is a copy of member HSCM00 from the SQQFSAMP target library. After running task 3.7 for new installs or 4.7 for upgrades, it contains a sample PARMLIB member with values collected during import and configuration set as appropriate parameter values. |
Task 5.1.2: Update the CMSC with your PARMLIB members
Use the z/OS MODIFY (F) command to update the CMSC with the PARMLIB member you created.
