Updating APPC options

To associate the IBM Z Workload Scheduler scheduler (the subsystem) with the local LU that you defined earlier, modify the APPC options by updating the APPCPMnn member of SYS1.PARMLIB. The following example shows an APPCPMnn member:

APPCPMnn example
LUADD                    /* Add local LU to APPC config.   */
   ACBNAME(IS4MEOP4)      /* Name of LU                     */
   SCHED(EOP4)            /* Scheduler name/OPC subsys name */
   TPDATA(SYS1.APPCTP)    /* Profile data set for this LU    */
   TPLEVEL(SYSTEM)        /* TP level for which LU searches */

Ensure that the scheduler name is the same as the IBM Z Workload Scheduler subsystem name. In this example, the subsystem name is EOP4. A side information file is not used by IBM Z Workload Scheduler. However, the LU must be associated with a TP profile data set; you need not specify a profile for IBM Z Workload Scheduler in the data set because IBM Z Workload Scheduler does not use TP profiles.

To allocate a TP profile data set, you can run a job such as:

//ALTPDSET JOB STATEMENT PARAMETERS
//TPSAMPLE EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//VOLOUT   DD   DISP=OLD,UNIT=3380,VOL=SER=volser
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD   *
        DEFINE CLUSTER (NAME(SYS1.APPCTP) -
            VOLUMES(volser) -
            INDEXED REUSE -
            SHAREOPTIONS(3 3) -
            RECORDSIZE(3824 7024) -
            KEYS(112 0) -
            RECORDS(300 150)) -
          DATA -
            (NAME(SYS1.APPCTP.DATA)) -
          INDEX -
            (NAME(SYS1.APPCTP.INDEX))

TP profile data sets are VSAM KSDS data sets.
