Accessing the Workflow menu in Quick configuration mode
On the Installation and Configuration Tools Welcome panel, you have the option of selecting either Quick Configuration or Standard Configuration mode. If you select Quick Configuration, you are presented with a panel on which you identify or define the runtime environment (RTE) that you want to configure. After you enter the information, the Workflow - Primary Option Menu is displayed.

If this is the first time you have invoked PARMGEN using this TSO user ID, or if the CSI target library is different from the last one accessed by the user ID, the Specify GBL_TARGET_HILEV Parameter panel is displayed:
KCIP@TLV ------------- SPECIFY GBL_TARGET_HILEV PARAM Command ===> PARMGEN stores configuration values in the TSO user's ISPF profile. If this is the first-time your TDITNT TSO user ID is invoking PARMGEN, enter the GBL_TARGET_HILEV-related values appropriate for your deployment: UNIT / STORCLAS / VOLSER MGMTCLAS GBL_TARGET_HILEV: ___________________________________ ________ / ________ / HLQ of SMP/E target (TK*) datasets ______ ________ Note: If this is not the first time your TDITNT ID is invoking PARMGEN, this panel is also presented if the GBL_TARGET_HILEV stored value changed from the last time you invoked PARMGEN. Verify GBL_TARGET_HILEV, UNIT, VOLSER, STORCLAS, and/or MGMTCLAS values accordingly. Reference: Last PARMGEN environment stored in TDITNT's ISPF profile: GBL_USER_JCL: RTE_PLIB_HILEV: RTE_NAME: Last GBL_TARGET_HILEV:Enter the high-level qualifier for the SMP/E target data sets, and the UNIT/VOLSER and STORCLAS/MGMTCLAS if necessary. The following panel is displayed.KCIPQPGA -------- PARAMETER GENERATOR (PARMGEN) WORKFLOW MENU ----------------- Command ===> Quick Configuration Mode Enter parameter values appropriate for the LPAR runtime environment (RTE). GBL_USER_JCL: ____________________________________________ (for example, TDITNT.ITM63055.SYSPLEX.PARMGEN.JCL) Specify the dataset name of the PARMGEN common/global library for the different LPAR runtime environments (RTEs). Use the same dataset for managing the different LPAR RTEs. Multiple users can specify the same dataset to manage RTEs. RTE_PLIB_HILEV: ________________________ Specify the High-Level Qualifier (&hlq) portion of the PARMGEN interim staging and work libraries for this LPAR RTE: - &hlq.&rte_name.IK* (IKANCMDU,IKANPARU,IKANSAMU) - &hlq.&rte_name.WK* (WKANCMDU,WKANPARU,WKANSAMU) - &hlq.&rte_name.WCONFIG RTE_NAME: ________ (Type ? for a list of configured RTEs) Specify the runtime environment (&rte_name) for this LPAR. - Specify the requested values to define or identify the runtime environment (RTE)
that you want to create or modify.
- GBL_USER_JCL
- Specifies the data set name
of the PARMGEN global user JCL library. Enter the fully-qualified name that you want to use to store
definitions for every RTE you might create on the LPAR. If the data set does not exist, you are
prompted to correct the name or allocate the data set. For
example:TDITN.IDTST.PARMGEN.JCL.
The PARMGEN global user JCL library is also where the PARMGEN process creates the variables configuration profile.
- RTE_PLIB_HILEV
- Specifies the non-VSAM
high-level qualifier to use for the following PARMGEN work libraries. For example:
TDITN.IDTST.
- The WCONFIG control library where configuration profiles and other members are stored
- The interim staging (IK*) libraries where PARMGEN product runtime members (template versions) are stored
- The work output (WK*) libraries where PARMGEN file-tailored runtime members and jobs are created
- RTE_NAME
- Specifies a unique name for the
RTE you are creating. The name is appended to the RTE_PLIB_HILEV value to make
each set of PARMGEN and runtime libraries unique: %RTE_PLIB_HILEV%.%RTE_NAME%.WCONFIG(%RTE_NAME%).
Tip: You might want to use the name of the LPAR and some distinguishing element in case more RTEs are created for LPAR. For example: SYSA.
- After you supply the appropriate values, press Enter to
proceed to the Workflow Primary Options Menu.
If you entered the name of a new RTE on the panel, the following message is displayed:
KCIP@MSG -------------------- PARMGEN MESSAGES ----------------------------- Command ===> You have asked to configure a new RTE profile. Proceed to configure a new RTE profile. Press ENTER to continue. Press F3 to abort. - Press Enter.
The PARAMETER GENERATOR (PARMGEN) Workflow - Primary Option Menu (KCIPQPGB) for Quick Configuration mode is displayed.
