System Configuration Options

The system configuration options member is used to set configuration options during the initialization of CA SYSVIEW. The system configuration options member is located in the concatenation of the system parmlib data sets.

Example: SYS1.PARMLIB

Assign a subsystem ID to each instance or installation of CA SYSVIEW within a z/OS system or LPAR.

The four-character SYSVIEW subsystem ID (SSID) is used to name the System Configuration Options system parmlib member.

Member name = GSVXssid

The first four characters of the member name are always GSVX.

Example: SYSVIEW subsystem ID = GSVX

Member name = GSVXGSVX

The default SYSVIEW subsystem ID is GSVX.

Multiple instances of SYSVIEW can be installed on a single z/OS system. These instances of SYSVIEW can be of the same or different release levels.

• Multiple instances at the same release levels cannot share the SYSVIEW subsystem ID or System Configuration Options member. Assign a unique subsystem ID to each SYSVIEW running at the same release level.
• Multiple instances at different release levels can share the SYSVIEW subsystem ID and System Configuration Options member.

If multiple instances of SYSVIEW are installed with the same subsystem ID, those instances specify their system configuration options in the same SYS1.PARMLIBs member GSVXssid.

Enclose the options for each instance within the following structure to separate the options by release.

Those options that are not unique to an instance can be shared across multiple instances and do not need to be within an ")IF" statement.

Example 1:

)IF RELEASE=13.7
   option1
   option2
)ENDIF

)IF RELEASE=13.5
   option1
   option2
)ENDIF

)IF RELEASE=rr.m
   option1
   option2
)ENDIF

Example 2:

)IF RELEASE=13.7
   )INCLUDE mbr137
)ENDIF

)IF RELEASE=13.5
   )INCLUDE mbr135
)ENDIF

In releases before CA SYSVIEW r13.5, the SYSVIEW GEN modules specified the system configuration options. The GEN modules are no longer used.
