zCX instance name
Each zCX instance must be given a unique name on the z/OS system. The name identifies the zCX
instance when creating an instance-specific directory, building configuration files, allocating ROOT
and CONFIG VSAM data sets, and more. It is also used as a unique job name
(ZCX_JOB_NAME
) to start the zCX instance.
Follow the z/OS job name guidelines when creating a unique instance name. The guidelines contain safeguards that prevent new zCX instances from overwriting existing ones during provisioning. If a workflow detects the reuse of an existing instance name, it fails the current workflow step.
The zCX instance name is represented by the z/OSMF workflow variable
ZCX_INSTNAME
