Parameter Libraries

SCS address space parameters are specified as configuration parameters in a member of the parameter library.

The parameter library is the data set or data sets allocated to the MSMPARM DD statement in the SCS address space JCL procedure.

The parameter library must be a partitioned data set or a concatenation of partitioned data sets and each partitioned data set must have variable-length records. Each parameter library member contains an XML document that specifies the address space parameters and contains various elements.

To facilitate using common configuration parameters for multiple instances of the SCS address space, configuration parameters in a member of a parameter library can contain z/OS system symbols.

Note: CA CSM includes the MSMCPARM parameter library member, which contains the default SCS address space parameters.
