Customizing the resource manager exit program names

You can accept the default names of the resource manager exit programs or you can customize the exit program names to fit your business needs.

Procedure

After exit programs are stored in the load library, you can change their default names by manually setting new values in the ?RMCREATOR?.ICMRMCONTROL table or by using an API call to set and query the names. The changes take effect dynamically, without restarting the resource manager on z/OS.

Support for using the API to customize resource manager exit program names is provided by the following class:

com\ibm\mm\sdk\rm\DKRMStoreSMS

For more information about this class, see DKRMStoreSMS.

For information about coding applications to access the resource manager, see Application Programming Interfaces.

Restriction: Use the following conventions for user-defined exit program names:
  • 1 - 8 alphanumeric characters, which can also include the following special characters: $, #, @
  • Characters can be uppercase, lowercase or mixed case; however, they will be converted to uppercase when they are loaded on z/OS. For example, the names "Mixed" and "mixEd" will both result in a call to an exit program named "MIXED."
