Modifying collection or replay configuration

You can use an optional configuration file to provide additional definitions or options to both the collector and the runner. This configuration file is not required unless you want to use the options it provides.

About this task

Virtual Test Platform data collection and replay processes access the configuration file through the extra-partition transient data (TD) queue technique.

Procedure

  1. Allocate a sequential data set with record format of VB, VBA, FB, or FBA and record length large enough to contain the longest configuration statement. For most commands, a record length of 240 is sufficient.
  2. Edit the file to add commands and command parameters.
    For a complete list of commands and parameters, see Configuration primary commands.
  3. Define the configuration file to CICS by using a CSD entry.
    The CSD entry must be defined as TD queue name BZUC which can then point to any DD statement and data set name that you want. In the case of batch collection or during replay, the DD statement must use a DD name of BZUCFG, as in this example:
    //BZUCFG DD DISP=SHR,DSN=#hlq.SBZUSAMP(BZUSCFG)
