Specifying attributes of the permanent SMP/E data sets
You can specify the attributes of the permanent SMP/E data sets using the SMPPTS, SMPMTS, SMPSTS, SMPSCDS and SMPLTS parameters.
Specify the attributes of the permanent SMP/E data sets on the following parameters:
- SMPPTS dsname
- Specifies the name of the SMP/E primary data set used to store temporarily PTF function SYSMODs or other fixes that are in RECEIVE or APPLY status; that is, PTF fixes that have not been rejected or accepted.
- SMPMTS dsname
- Specifies the name of the SMP/E macro temporary store (MTS) data set used to store updated versions of macros. Although required by SMP/E, CICS does not use the MTS data set.
- SMPSTS dsname
- Specifies the name of the SMP/E source temporary store (STS) data set used to store updated versions of source elements. Although required by SMP/E, CICS does not use the STS data set.
- SMPSCDS dsname
- Specifies the name of the SMP/E saved control data set (SCDS) used to store old target zone entries that have been modified by inline JCLIN processing in a SYSMOD.
- SMPLTS dsname
- Specifies the name of the link-edit temporary (LTS) data set used with the CALLLIBS function. This data set must always be an SMS-managed PDSE, whether or not Java™ is installed, unless you have installed the PTFs for z/OS® UNIX and PDSE support on non-managed SMS volumes listed in Flash10007, which can be found by links from https://www.ibm.com/support/techdocs.
The CICS® Transaction Server jobs that must know the attributes of the SMP/E data sets have DD statements for them.
