Model configuration profiles

The configuration software provides a number of model profiles to be used as templates for creating runtime environments (RTEs). These templates make it easy for users who do not need site-customized environments to quickly create RTEs of the most frequently built types.

The IBM-provided models are copied to the % RTE_PLIB_HILEV%.%RTE_NAME%.RKANSAMU library. You select a configuration to use as the model for your RTE when you set up the work libraries by entering a question mark (?) in the model profile field on the Set up PARMGEN Work Environment for an RTE (1 of 3) panel (KCIPQPG1).

The $MDLVARS model contains symbols for the best-practice variables. Cloning the $MDLVARS member substitutes the symbols for a subset of parameter values in the RTE configuration profile. Then, you customize the resolution values in the variables profile to suit your site. Using $MDLVARs saves you from having to update dozens or even hundreds of parameters manually. For more information about using these predefined variables, seeHow to: Merge predefined variables into configuration profiles.

The following are best-practice configurations for RTEs.

The use of these model profiles is documented in the QCF Implementation scenarios. @MDLHSS, which forms the basis for QCF Scenario 10, is suggested for creating a proof-of-concept or test RTE.
