Parameters in the PARMGEN configuration method

The PARMGEN configuration method uses a comprehensive list of parameters for all the installed products and components in a runtime environment (the configuration profile) and a series of jobs to create a complete runtime environment using the values specified in the profile.

If you have runtime environments that were already configured previously using the Configuration Tool, a conversion utility (the KCIJPCNV job) is provided for using the existing parameter values in those runtime environments to be configured by the PARMGEN method. After you use PARMGEN to configure new runtime environments, you cannot use an old version of the method. After you use PARMGEN to configure new runtime environments, you cannot use an old version of the Configuration Tool to edit or maintain them. For more information about using this utility, see the Planning and Configuring sections in the IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON and Tivoli Management Services on z/OS Shared Documentation.
