Configuring the Scope parameter

The parameters in the configuration data set can optionally be shared between multiple address spaces and multiple LPARs.
Configuration parameters typically fall into these categories:

• Parameters common to all address spaces
• Parameters specific to the server address space
• Parameters specific to applications

The SCOPE parameter controls which parameters in the configuration data set are parsed and processed by each address space on each LPAR. A block of one or more configuration parameters can be preceded by a Scope keyword indicating that the block should be processed only by the address spaces that have that scope.

The scope for each address space is defined on the SCOPE= parameter in the EXEC PARM in the JCL procedure.

You can further qualify the Scope keyword by the SYSID, allowing different parameter blocks to be processed depending on the system on which Resident Security Server is being started.
