Setting Up the Initialization File › Generate an Initialization File

Generate an Initialization File

If you are deploying multiple regions, each region must be configured for its local environment. When you have configured your first region, you can build an initialization file from that region and then configure it for use with your other regions. This removes the need to customize each region with Customizer.

The tasks outlined below show how to configure a region from an initialization file. The initialization file is produced from a running region for your product.

To generate an initialization file

1. From the Primary Menu, enter /CUSTOM.

   The Customizer panel appears.

2. Select option G - Generate INI Procedure.

   The Customizer : Generate INI Procedure panel appears.

3. Enter the data set name and the member name of the file in the Generate INI File Details section.

   Note: The data set must be in the commands concatenation of the RUNSYSIN member for the region in which it is used.

4. Ensure that the member name and data set name are correct. Enter YES in the Replace Member? field if you are replacing an existing member.
5. Press F6 (Action).

   The initialization file is generated.

6. Make a note of the data set and member names and press F6 (Confirm).

   The details are saved.
