Workflow user interface

Edit online

You can manually edit and submit the jobs necessary to set up and configure runtime environments. However, you can also use the Parameter Generator (PARMGEN) Workflow interface. The Workflow interface steps you through the process of editing the PARMGEN configuration profiles, and creating, editing, and submitting the jobs that set up and tailor the runtime environment. The interface also provides access to PARMGEN libraries and utilities.

See Configuration workflow for information about these options and the configuration process.

Note: The PARMGEN Workflow user interface uses several standard TSO/E commands, and REXX and ISPF services. If you have modified or restricted access to any of these commands or services, the PARMGEN tool may not function correctly. A minimum region size of 6000K is required for the TSO user session.

Any ISPF panel presented with a More: - + scroll indicator is scrollable upwards (denoted by More: - +) or scrollable downwards (denoted by More: - +). Scroll up or down using the standard ISPF keys assigned to scroll down (F7 key by default) or scroll up (F8 key by default).
