Action options

The OPTION parameter is available for some actions and provides more granular control over certain processing. Use of this parameter is optional.

This topic summarizes the available options for each of the respective actions, as follows. For sample JCL, see JCL.

CREATE action

The following options are available for the CREATE action. For more information, see CREATE.

MULTIPLE
Use a single Configuration Manager RTEDEF data set for multiple runtime environments. You can abbreviate this keyword to MULTI.
TRGCOPY
Create a target copy member in the RTEDEF library. You can abbreviate this keyword to TRG.

GENERATE action

Some options require a complete run of the GENERATE action prior to use. Additionally, some options are not compatible to run with other options during the same job.

To specify more than one option, separate the values with a comma and no spaces. For example: OPTION USS,SECEXITS

The following options are available for the GENERATE action. For details about using these options, see GENERATE.

USS
Run only the GENERATE workflow stage that deploys the parts related to z/OS® UNIX System Services. This option requires a complete run of the GENERATE action prior to use.
NOUSS
Do not run the z/OS UNIX deploy stage in the GENERATE action.
SECEXITS
Perform configuration for security exits only. This option requires a complete run of the GENERATE action prior to use. You can abbreviate this keyword to SEC.
VALIDATE
Perform initial validation of RTEDEF parameters. You can abbreviate this keyword to VAL.
QUICKLOAD
Load the read-only configuration members to the RK* data sets. The read-only members are those members that are not impacted by customization during configuration. You can abbreviate this keyword to QL.
QUICKCONFIG
Update the configurable members for the runtime environment (for example, in the RKANPARU, RKANSAMU, and RKANCMDU libraries) without refreshing data from SMP/E target libraries. You can abbreviate this keyword to QC.
RELINK
Assemble and link edit modules for OMEGAMON for Networks (KN3) and OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface (KOB). You can abbreviate this keyword to LINK.
TRGCOPY
Copy SMP/E target libraries into target copy data sets. You can abbreviate this keyword to TRG.
PREPARE
Prepare intermediate work libraries for your runtime environment separately from other GENERATE action stages. You can use this option to build the work data sets before other GENERATE action stages so that other required tasks dependent on the data sets can be performed ahead of time or in parallel. You can abbreviate this keyword to PREP.

MIGRATE action

The following option is available for the MIGRATE action. For more information, see MIGRATE.

MULTIPLE
Use a single Configuration Manager RTEDEF data set for multiple PARMGEN runtime environments. You can abbreviate this keyword to MULTI.

PACKAGE action

The following option is available for the PACKAGE action. For more information, see PACKAGE.

NOUSS
Do not include the files and directories related to z/OS UNIX in the PACKAGE output.

DEPLOY action

The following options are available for the DEPLOY action. For more information, see DEPLOY.

USS
Run only the DEPLOY workflow stage that deploys the parts related to z/OS UNIX.
NOUSS
Do not run the z/OS UNIX deploy stage in the DEPLOY action.

All actions

The following option is available for all actions.
DEBUG
This option provides output for troubleshooting purposes and should only be used under the guidance of IBM Software Support. The DEBUG keyword can be used with all other OPTION keywords. You can abbreviate this keyword to DBG.
