Runtime members

The GENERATE action generates runtime members in locations (MVS™ data set names and z/OS® UNIX® System Services paths) that are specified by parameters.

Runtime member locations

MVS data sets:

  • rte_hilev.rte_name.RK*
  • rte_hilev.rte_name.ssid.RK*
  • rte_vsam_hilev.rte_name.RK*
  • rte_vsam_hilev.rte_name.ssid.RK*
  • gbl_dsn_sys1_proclib
  • gbl_dsn_sys1_vtamlib
  • gbl_dsn_sys1_vtamlst

z/OS UNIX directory paths:

  • rte_uss_dir/rte_name/*

where:

  • ssid is the identifier of a subsystem to be monitored, such as a Db2® subsystem or an IMS subsystem
  • Other identifiers in italics represent parameter values

Parameters that specify runtime member locations

RTE_HILEV
High-level qualifiers of non-VSAM data sets.
RTE_VSAM_HILEV
High-level qualifiers of VSAM data sets.

RTE_HILEV and RTE_VSAM_HILEV have the same default value: rte_plib_hilev

GBL_DSN_SYS1_PROCLIB
GBL_DSN_SYS1_VTAMLIB
GBL_DSN_SYS1_VTAMLST
The data set names where the GENERATE action writes members intended for your system libraries.

Default values:

  • rte_hilev.SYS1.PROCLIB
  • rte_hilev.SYS1.VTAMLIB
  • rte_hilev.SYS1.VTAMLST

You must use your own site-specific procedures to copy the members from these locations to your actual PROCLIB, VTAMLIB, and VTAMLST system libraries.

RTE_USS_RTEDIR
z/OS UNIX directory. Default value: /var/rtehome
RTE_NAME
The runtime environment name is appended to RTE_HILEV and RTE_VSAM_HILEV as a low-level qualifier and to RTE_USS_RTEDIR as a directory name.

The following diagram illustrates the relationships between parameters and runtime member locations:

Tip: Monitoring Configuration Manager writes concise started tasks to:
  • rte_hilev.SYS1.PROCLIB

and versions with verbose comments to the same location used by PARMGEN:

  • rte_plib_hilev.rte_name.RKANSAMU
  • rte_plib_hilev.rte_name.RKD2SAM (for Db2)
