LPA definitions in LPALSTxx

z/OS® Explorer requires that the modules in the FEK.SFEKLPA load library are in the Link Pack Area (LPA) for RSE daemon to work with data sets.

LPA data sets are defined in SYS1.PARMLIB(LPALSTxx). Define LPA=xx in the IEASYSxx parmlib member to specify which LPALSTxx parmlib member should be used during IPL.

LPA definitions can be set dynamically (until the next IPL) with the following console command:
  • SETPROG LPA,ADD,DSN=FEK.SFEKLPA,MASK=*
Note:
  • Data sets listed in LPALSTxx must be cataloged in the master catalog or a user catalog identified in the LPALSTxx member.
  • Adding a new data set to LPALSTxx requires an IPL with CLPA (create LPA) to be activated.
  • All libraries that are loaded into LPA are automatically considered to be APF-authorized and program controlled. Ensure you have proper security controls in place for these libraries.
  • If you choose to not place a library designed for LPA placement in LPA and you use LINKLIST or STEPLIB instead, ensure that you define the APF authorization and program control status.
