Enhanced 3270 user interface (KOB) parameters

The OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface has its own set of common configuration parameters, each of which begins with "KOB".

For parameters that must be added to the EMBEDS(KOB$PENV) member (Configuration Manager) or to the WCONFIG(KOB$PENV) member (PARMGEN), you must enable the parameter after adding it in the imbed.
  • For an existing Run Time Environment (RTE):
    1. Edit %RTE_PLIB_HILEV%.%RTE_NAME%.WCONFIG(&imbed_name) referenced by the enabling product PTF or new product version. Modify the parameter accordingly before rerunning the WCONFIG($PARSE) job.
      Note: The new default parameter is typically introduced in a PARMGEN APAR maintenance. For existing RTEs created before the PARMGEN APAR that introduced the new parameter, the WCONFIG(&imbed_name) already exists. To enable the function, add the new override parameter to WCONFIG(&imbed_name).
    2. Submit WCONFIG($PARSEPR) job to recreate the RTE's %RTE_PLIB_HILEV%.%RTE_NAME%.WKANPARU(&runtime_member) where the &imbed_name is imbedded.
    3. Submit WKANSAMU(KCIJPW2R) job to refresh the &runtime_member from the PARMGEN work dataset (WKANPARU for example) to the corresponding product execution user library (RKANPARU for example) when you are ready to stage your runtime member updates.
    4. Recycle the product started task.
    5. Repeat step 1 to step 4 for additional RTEs that will enable the function.
  • For a new Run Time Environment (RTE):
    1. Follow the preferred RTE Implementation Scenario documented in Implementation scenarios.
    2. As part of the "Customizing the configuration profiles" step, edit %RTE_PLIB_HILEV%.%RTE_NAME%.WCONFIG(&imbed_name) that will override the WKANPARU(&runtime_member). Modify the parameter accordingly before rerunning the WCONFIG($PARSE) job.
    3. Complete the remaining steps as documented in the RTE Implementation Scenario.
