Sharing server configuration

To avoid the need to manually edit multiple z/OS Connect Server configuration files with the same content each time an update is required, you can share a configuration file between the z/OS Connect Servers. Sharing a configuration file simplifies administration and maintenance because only a single file needs to be updated and ensures that all servers are using the same configuration. To use a shared configuration file between servers, you must consider the following aspects:

• The mechanisms that allow server configuration to be split into multiple files.
• Which configuration elements can be shared and which elements must be server-specific.
• Where to store the shared configuration file.
