Customization setup
Developer for z/OS® contains several sample configuration files and sample JCL. To avoid overwriting your customizations when applying maintenance, copy all of these members and z/OS UNIX files to a different location, and customize the copy.
The Developer for z/OS FMIDs are shared by multiple IBM products, so it is possible you see configurable files, libraries, or directories that are not applicable to your setup. When in doubt, refer back to this document, as it contains all information on the parts that do apply to your setup.
To create customizable copies of configuration files and configuration
JCL, and to create required z/OS UNIX directories, customize and
submit the sample FELSETUP
member in the FEL.SFELSAMP
data
set. The required customization steps are described within the member.
- Create
FEL.#CUST.PARMLIB
and populate it with sample configuration files. - Create
FEL.#CUST.PROCLIB
and populate it with sampleSYS1.PROCLIB
members. - Create
FEL.#CUST.JCL
and populate it with sample configuration JCL. - Create
FEL.#CUST.CNTL
and populate it with sample server startup scripts. - Create
FEL.#CUST.ASM
and populate it with sample assembler source code. - Create
FEL.#CUST.SQL
and populate it with sample SQL command files. - Populate the z/OS Explorer
configuration directory,
/etc/zexpl/*
with sample configuration files.
- The customization steps described here, including the
FELSETUP
tool, assume that the configuration of z/OS Explorer has already been completed. - The configuration steps in this publication use the member and
file locations created by the
FELSETUP
job, unless noted otherwise. The original samples, which should not be updated, are inFEL.SFELSAMP
and/usr/lpp/IBM/zee/samples/
. - For more details on which sample members are copied to which data
set, and for more details on which directories are created, their
permission bitmask, and where the various sample files are copied
to, see the comments in

. - To aid in migrating an existing setup, the comments in
FEL.SFELSAMP(FELSETUP)
also document the changes between different versions of Developer for z/OS.
