Customizing the runtime environment configuration profile

The runtime environment (RTE) configuration profiles contains the parameter values that define an RTE: the type of RTE, the communication protocols and addresses, the framework features that are enabled, and the products and components that are configured in it. The profile is already tailored (by the KCIJPUP1 job) with values supplied during the process of setting up the environment. In addition, default values are provided for all other required parameters and some optional ones. If you do not want to customize these parameters, and you do not want to enable optional features, you do not need to edit the profile. However, if you want to override defaults with site-specific values, or you want to use optional features, you can edit the profile.

Before you begin

Make sure that you are aware of any site-specific requirements and any other prerequisites (such as authorization for started tasks, naming conventions, available ports, z/OS® UNIX System Services data sets). Check the documentation for every product that you are configuring in the RTE for any product-specific configuration requirements.
