Manual customization
You can customize the SUPEROPT online environment automatically by using the AutoCustomization procedures that are described in AutoCustomization.
This section describes the steps that are required for customizing the environment manually. Optimizer options can be set (and reset) from the online Monitor. They can also be set (and reset) by running COPBSET, the BMC batch Set Options program. Before you preset the options, you might want to complete some of all of the optional installation tasks that are described in this section.
To execute manual customizations, you must have access authority.
Verify that the SUPEROPT functions work properly by using the functions as described in the Using.
Figure shows the manual customization process:

Table briefly describes each step in the manual customization process. The Data Set Member column names the MVS data set member containing the sample JCL that is included on the tape. These samples are in the hilevel.BBSAMP data set on the tape, but you can specify a different high-level qualifier when you write the JCL to unload the tape.

You might have to edit certain lines in these jobs to conform to the requirements of your system, especially if you use Storage Management Subsystem (SMS). Sometimes SMS has a problem with the jobs that create the VSAM options files (CSOVSAM).
To complete customization, you must perform the following required tasks:
- Define transaction resources
- Define program resources
Repeat each required task for every CICS system on which SUPEROPT is being installed. When you have completed these tasks, you can start the Optimizer or you can complete optional tasks 3 through 9.
