NetView Definition Statements

NetView definition statements are used by the NetView® program for performing system administration tasks. System administration is the process of redefining system defaults and storage requirements. You can perform administration subtasks during NetView program installation or when you redefine network resources.

In planning for installation and network management tasks, you can determine the facilities you need to run the NetView program. You also need to identify hardware requirements and specific resources used by the NetView program. You can use this information to help determine requirements for user coding and NetView program definitions.

Use the definition statements to accomplish the procedures described in the IBM Z® NetView Installation: Getting Started. This book introduces the concept of altering the sample NetView program definition statements to suit your requirements. After copying some current definition statements from the sample files, you can begin to modify existing definition statements or create new ones. You can alter definition statements during a first-time NetView program installation, or later, while running your production system.
