JVMPROFILEDIR

The JVMPROFILEDIR system initialization parameter specifies the name (up to 240 characters long) of a z/OS® UNIX directory that contains the JVM profiles for CICS®. CICS searches this directory for the profiles it needs to configure JVMs.

JVMPROFILEDIR={/usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts51/JVMProfiles|directory}

The default value of JVMPROFILEDIR is the same as the default value of the USSHOME system initialization parameter, which specifies the name and path of the root directory for CICS files on z/OS UNIX, followed by the subdirectory JVMProfiles. Changing the USSHOME parameter has no effect on the JVMPROFILEDIR parameter value.

If you want CICS to load the JVM profiles from a different directory, you must complete one of the following tasks:
  • Change the value of the JVMPROFILEDIR system initialization parameter.
  • Link to your JVM profiles from the directory specified by JVMPROFILEDIR using UNIX soft links. Use this method to store your JVM profiles in any place in the z/OS UNIX file system.

The supplied sample JVM profiles DFHJVMAX and DFHOSGI must always be available to CICS in the directory that is specified by JVMPROFILEDIR, or linked to using UNIX soft links from that directory.
