Multiple processes in the native administration interfaces

The WebSphere® Transformation Extender Launcher multiple-processes feature, as described in Multiple Processes, is also available to use with the z/OS® operating system on IBM® z/Architecture® platforms. If you will be running systems specifically through the z/OS native administration interfaces (NAI), the WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher multiple-processes feature allows you to run multiple Launcher processes (systems or .msl files) within a single installation of the Launcher as described in this documentation.

To enable the multiple-processes feature, global management is selected through resource management settings in the Resource Manager section of the NAI DTXENVAR environment variables file. This file is included in the WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher installation. See Using Resource Management for background information about global resource management.

The NAI will optionally launch a single system for each Launcher installation instance or recognize a request for global resource management and launch multiple systems in a single instance depending on the way in which you instruct the Launcher, through the settings in the DTXENVAR environment variables file, to run the system or systems. Also, there are additional settings in the file that you can change to enable the Launcher to create debug and Launcher log files.

See DTXENVAR Environment Variable File for the settings that you can configure to enable the WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher multiple-processes feature.
