BBPARM data sets set up

The customization instructions in this section refer to the following data sets:

  • hilevel.ibbparm
  • hilevel.UBBPARM
  • hilevel.BBPARM

Data set name

Description

hilevel

is the high-level data set name qualifier used at your site

ibbparm

is a user-defined parameter data set unique to this IMS

You can allocate a separate ibbparm data set to contain any members that you want to make unique to the IMS, such as IMFSYS00, IMFECP00, and AAOPRM00. The ibbparm data set must be allocated.

Note

If the only members that require customization for an IMS system are IMFSYS00, IMFECP00, or both, an ibbparm data set is not required. Instead, you can create a renamed ( imsidSYS) version of the IMFSYS00 member, a renamed (imsidECP) version of the IMFECP00 member, or both, include them in UBBPARM, and edit them (as explained below in UBBPARM). If you require customized member AAOPRMxx, specify the suffix using the AAOPRM=xx parameter in the IMFSYS00 (or imsidSYS) member that the IMS system is using.

UBBPARM

is a parameter data set that is copied and customized from the distributed BBPARM data set and shared by all IMS systems

Note: If you used MainView Customization, you can edit and customize the UBBPARM data set that MainView Customization creates. If you did not use MainView Customization, allocate a UBBPARM data set, copy the distributed BBPARM data set to it, and edit the UBBPARM data set as needed.

In the UBBPARM data set, you can include a copied, renamed version of IMFSYS00 to customize the system parameters for an IMS system, including the SUBSYS parameter, which establishes communication between the IMS and the BBI-SS PAS. The name of an IMS-specific system parameter member must be in the following format:

imsidSYS (where imsid is the four-character IMS ID code)

You can also include a copied, renamed version of IMFECP00 to customize the Event Collector parameters for an IMS. The name of an IMS-specific Event Collector parameter member must be in the following format:

imsidECP (where imsid is the four-character IMS ID code)

You can include the AAOPRMxx member by specifying the suffix with the AAOPRM=xx parameter in the IMFSYS00 (or imsidSYS) member that the IMS system is using.

If you do not need to customize additional UBBPARM members for an IMS system, you do not need to create and allocate an ibbparm member for that system.

BBPARM

is the target BBPARM data set distributed by BMC

Note

Throughout the MainView AutoOPERATOR documentation, parameter library members are normally referred to as BBPARM members, even though customized versions of the members may reside in the UBBPARM data set or in an IBBPARM data set.

The system parameter member is referred to as BBPARM member IMFSYS00, and the Event Collector parameter is referred to as BBPARM member IMFECP00, even though the members might also reside in a parameter data set with a member name in the format imsidSYS or imsidECP.
