Adding the BPE entry to the z/OS Program Properties Table

The BPE program properties table entry, BPEINI00, is used by various IMS address spaces.

These address spaces include:

Common Queue Server (CQS)
Database Recovery Control (DBRC) - optional
IMS Connect
Open Database Manager (ODBM)
Operations Manager (OM)
Resource Manager (RM)
Structured Call Interface (SCI)

If you are using any of these address spaces, you must have the BPEINI00 entry in your PPT.

To make this entry, edit the SCHEDxx member of the SYS1.PARMLIB data set. Add the following entry to the SCHEDxx member:

                             /* BPE - BASE PRIMITIVE ENVIRONMENT     */
   PPT PGMNAME(BPEINI00)     /* PROGRAM NAME = BPEINI00              */
            CANCEL           /* PROGRAM CAN BE CANCELLED             */
            KEY(7)           /* PROTECT KEY ASSIGNED IS 7            */
            NOSWAP           /* PROGRAM IS NOT-SWAPPABLE             */
            NOPRIV           /* PROGRAM IS NOT PRIVILEGED            */
            DSI              /* REQUIRES DATA SET INTEGRITY          */
            PASS             /* CANNOT BYPASS PASSWORD PROTECTION    */
            SYST             /* PROGRAM IS A SYSTEM TASK             */
            AFF(NONE)        /* NO CPU AFFINITY                      */

To make the SCHEDxx changes effective, take one of the following actions:

Restart the z/OS® system.
Issue the z/OS SET SCH= command.
