Parmlib Members › Parameter Library Members Overview

Parameter Library Members Overview

The parmlib members contain information and settings that let you tailor the operation of CA SYSVIEW to your requirements.

CA SYSVIEW creates a set of product variables and system variables that can be referenced in parmlib members. The system variables are created using the system symbols you have defined. The set of product variables that are available are listed in the appendix "Product Variables."

Detailed information about the syntax of the members and how to code the individual entries is found in the members themselves. For a list of keywords used to modify each parmlib member, see the appendix “Parameter Library Keywords.”

The following explains the CA SYSVIEW support of the parmlib data sets:

1. CA SYSVIEW supports the following types of parmlib data sets:
   • System parmlib data set
   • User parmlib data set
2. The system parmlib data set is defined in the System Configuration Options member using the Dsn-System-PARMLIB keyword.
3. When a parmlib member is eligible to be read from the user parmlib data set and it is found there, it is read from that data set.
4. When a parmlib member is eligible to be read from the user parmlib data set and it is not found there, or if a parmlib member is not eligible to be read from the user parmlib data set, it is read from the system parmlib data set.
