PTF UJ95019 for APAR OA66050 (1Q24)
PTF UJ95019 for APAR OA66050 (1Q24) provides several Configuration Manager enhancements, which include the ability to create members for multiple runtime environments in the same RTEDEF library and to create SMP/E target library copies that you can use with your runtime environments. Additionally, new data sets are now allocated for the new Developers Reference in the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface. Updates have also been made to the JOBGEN tables.
Configuration Manager-only updates
The following updates have been made:
- The CREATE action now supports the creation of multiple runtime environments
in the same RTEDEF library. To use this feature, specify OPTION
MULTIPLE (which you can abbreviate to OPTION MULTI) in the
KCIVARS DD. Use the KFJ_SYSNAME parameter to replace lpar in the member name Kpp$lpar. By running the CREATE action multiple times with different $lpar suffixes, you can create an initial set of members for multiple runtime environments.Note: KFJ_SYSNAME is an internal parameter that automatically assigns the value of SYSNAME, but it is possible to specify a different value for KFJ_SYSNAME in the KCIVARS DD as well.
If OPTION MULTIPLE is not specified, the CREATE action constructs product members with the extension of $PARM, as occurred previously.
For more information, see CREATE.
- You can now use Configuration Manager to create
one or more copies of your SMP/E target libraries from which you can create or update your runtime
environments. New action option TRGCOPY has been added to the
CREATE and GENERATE actions for this target copy
feature. The target library copies that are created depend on the products selected for
configuration. The CREATE action with OPTION TRGCOPY creates
the required member for customizing the SMP/E target copy properties, and the
GENERATE action with OPTION TRGCOPY copies the SMP/E target
libraries. Note: If you are moving from PARMGEN to Configuration Manager, the Configuration Manager target copy feature provides an alternative to the PARMGEN base library feature.
For more information, see Using SMP/E target library copies.
- To support the target copy feature, new parameters with prefix
TRG
have been introduced. For more information, see Target copy (TRG) parameters. - The CREATE action options MULTIPLE and TRGCOPY are not compatible.
- The following messages are new or have been updated: KFJ00203E, KFJ00227E, KFJ00228W (replaces message KFJ00206W), and KFJ00229E.
Product-specific updates
- OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface
-
To support the new Developers Reference that is now available in the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface, the new TKANBENU library definition has been added to the enhanced 3270UI started task. Allocation statements for DKANBENU and TKANBENU libraries have been added in the job generator utility (JOBGEN). After you generate an updated runtime environment, a new user copy data set UKANBENU will also be created. Refer to the APAR text for detailed information.Important: Because this enhancement modifies the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270UI started task, after applying this maintenance and regenerating your runtime members, you must copy your updated procedure to your system PROCLIB library. The default OMEGAMON enhanced 3270UI started task procedure member is as follows:
- For Configuration Manager: rte_hilev.SYS1.PROCLIB(OMEGTOM)
- For PARMGEN: rte_plib_hilev.rte_name.RKANSAMU(IBMTOM)
- IBM OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert on z/OS
-
The RKANSAMV library is no longer allocated for OMEGAMON for Db2 versions later than 5.4.0, and RKANSAMF is no longer allocated if OMEGAMON for Db2 is not installed.
Job generator utility (JOBGEN) updates
In addition to the JOBGEN updates that were made for the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface, the JOBGEN tables were updated to support OMEGAMON for z/OS 5.5.1 and OMEGAMON for Networks 5.5.1.
