zee.prime.env, the environment initialization file

The z/OS® Explorer RSE server processes (RSE daemon, RSE thread pool, and RSE server) and other Explorer for z/OS plug-in products like z/OS Debugger use the definitions in zee.prime.env to learn about z/OS Explorer Extensions environment variables.

Note: Use of zee.prime.env requires IBM® Explorer for z/OS version 3.4 or later.

zee.prime.env is located in /etc/zexpl/, unless you specified a different location when you customized and submitted the FEL.SFELSAMP(FELSETUP) job. For more details, see Customization setup. You can edit the file with the TSO OEDIT command.

See the following sample zee.prime.env file, which can be customized to match your system environment. Default values are provided for all variables that are not explicitly specified. The syntax of the file follows standard z/OS UNIX shell syntax rules. For example, comments start with a number sign (#) when using a US code page, and spaces around the equal sign (=) are not supported.

Note: For your changes to take effect, the z/OS Explorer RSED started task must be restarted.

ELAXF=

The following definitions are optional. If omitted, default values are used.

ELAXF: The JES PROCLIB data set holding the ELAXF include member. The SET variable=value statements within will be converted to environment variables. There is no default for this variable, but there are defaults for the SET statement values if other environment variables require them. Change to match your z/OS Explorer Extensions customization.
