RTE_TYPE
This parameter specifies the type of runtime environment being created.
Note: This parameter is valid in both Configuration Manager and PARMGEN; however, the default value
is different depending on the tool.
- Description
-
- In Configuration Manager
- This parameter determines whether runtime members are a full stand-alone set or shared with
SMP/E target installation libraries. The following types are valid:
- FULL
- Stand-alone runtime members. Runtime members have no dependency on target libraries.
- SHARING
- Some runtime members refer to the target libraries.
The high-level qualifiers of the target libraries are specified by the GBL_TARGET_HILEV parameter.
SHARING reduces the storage requirement for each runtime environment.
If RTE_TYPE is
SHARING, then the value of theRTE_SHAREparameter must beSMP.
- In PARMGEN
- This parameter specifies the type of runtime environment being created. The following types are
valid:
- FULL
- Allocates both private and base libraries. Use this if you only need one runtime environment or if you need a runtime environment for a unique set of products.
- SHARING
- Allocates private libraries only. This type can either share base libraries with a base or full runtime environment, or use target libraries that were installed by SMP/E for its base libraries. Define one sharing runtime environment for each z/OS® image.
Note: Base libraries are created automatically as part of creating the first runtime environment that shares the base runtime environment. Runtime environments created after this one can point to the existing base using the RTE_SHARE parameter.For more information about the types of runtime environments, see What types of runtime environments to set up.
