Defining the CICS LPA library to your MVS

CICS® supplies the library hlq.SDFHLPA. This library contains the modules that must be in the LPA. You can also use this library to install other CICS modules or application programs that you want to use from the LPA.

You can give the hlq.SDFHLPA library your own index, but, if you do, you must specify the new index on the LINDEX parameter of the DFHISTAR job.

Add the full name of the hlq.SDFHLPA library to an LPALSTxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB. You must then IPL the system with the CLPA option to ensure that the library contents are loaded into the PLPA. Set the CLPA option by specifying it as an IEASYSxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB or in response to message IEA101A. Include IEASYSxx as the SYSPARM value in the LOADxx member.

RACF-protect the hlq.SDFHLPA library, to prevent unauthorized or accidental modification of this library. For information about protecting the CICS libraries, see the CICS installation requirements for RACF.

You can install into the hlq.SDFHLPA library the CICS modules to be used from the MVS™ link pack area. See Installing CICS modules in the LPA.
