Step 3: (Optional) Customizing SDF Initialization Parameters

Member AOFINIT allows you to define parameters common to all SDF panels and SDF initialization specifications, such as:

Initial screen shown when SDF is started
Maximum operator logon limit
Default PF key definitions
Detail status display panel PF key definitions
Detail status display panel PF key descriptions
Default priorities and colors

These parameters define values for SDF when it is started.

System symbols are supported wherever they are used in the AOFTREE, AOFINIT and AOFPNLS members. This can help reduce both customization work and errors.

This step of SDF customization is optional. Using SA z/OS-provided default values for these parameters is recommended.

Note: User-defined statuses are not saved across a recycle or a monitor cycle. This means the status of a subsystem changes from the user-defined status to an appropriate SA z/OS status.
