Configure the MAIN Options


You now need to configure the MAIN options used by FDR/UPSTREAM z/OS. These options define system-wide processing used by UPSTREAM. From the UPSTREAM main menu below, which we first saw in Start the FDR/UPSTREAM ISPF Interface, select option 4 (“Configure”):

FDR/UPSTREAM - Main ISPF Panel

-------------------------------- FDR/UPSTREAM --------------------
COMMAND ===>                                                        v3.9.3         
  9    USTBATCH    - Host Initiated Services
  10   STATUS      - Current Status Information
  11   DEFINE      - Define Control Files
  12   CONFIGURE   - Main Options
  13   PROFILE     - Client Profile Names
  14   OPER        - Operator Commands
  15   REPORT      - Report
  16   REGISTRY    - Name Registry
 13    SCHEDULE    - Command Scheduler
 14    MANAGEMENT  - Backup Management
 15    USTCRYPT    - USTCRYPT Options

    11 Active Jobs:

Sel Jobname  System   #ACTTCP/IP Address PORT VTAM APL
--- -------  ------  ---- -------------- ---- --------
 S   USTPRODA CPUA       1192.168.0.1    2001 USTSAPPL
     USTPRODP CPUA        VERSION <3.9.1
     UI       CPUB        192.168.0.2    1972 NONE
     USTEURO  CPUE                            INACTIVE

In the subsequent menu you select the name (and optionally a member name, if a PDS) of your UPSTREAM configuration data set. The first time you enter this screen, specify the input data set and member name as a blank, and specify the output data set and member name to match the names you previously specified in Define the “CONFIG” Configuration File. UPSTREAM will then initialize the configuration file for use and provide a default set of system-wide option values.

Warning

Do not specify the input data set as blank on subsequent re-visits to this screen, as this will result in the configuration file being re-initialized removing any updates to the configuration file.

FDR/UPSTREAM - Configure Main Options Configuration Data Set

----------------- FDR/UPSTREAM - Configure Main Options -------------------
COMMAND ===>

Input Configuration data set: (optional - blank for default values)

Data set name ===>
Member name  ===>

Output Configuration data set:

Data set name ===> 'your.upstream.configuration.dataset'
Member name     ===> UPSTREAM

Press enter to display the main options.

Note: Changes to the active configuration do not take effect until the
      operator command F UPSTREAM,REFRESH is issued from a system console or
      by the OPER dialog (option 6), or by stopping and re-starting UPSTREAM.

Once you have completely entered the data, press the ENTER key to proceed to the next configuration screen.

The subsequent screen displays all of the UPSTREAM MAIN configuration options. The configuration can be saved by entering SAVE on the top line and pressing ENTER. Each option is described below.
