This chapter describes the variables for z/OSMF and System Management Facility (SMF) under CustomPac Installation Dialog Level 27.

This chapter includes the following topics:

 

Starting with z/OS V2R2, the configuration process for z/OSMF changed. z/OSMF no longer uses the Environment variable and Override file to set z/OSMF parameters.

z/OSMF is now set up by using a PARMLIB member IZUPRMxx. This member is optional and is not required if z/OSMF is set up by using all of the default parameters.

The IZUPRM00 member features parameters that can be customized by ServerPac, as shown in Figure 4-1.

If you do not change any of these variables, you can delete IZUPRM00 member from CPAC.PARMLIB.

If you change any of the parameters, job CPPPUPDT replaces the default value with the value that you specified. After running CPPPUPDT, you can review IZUPRM00 in CPAC.PARMLIB and delete the values that were not customized by you.

The new variable SMF option was added under the SMF OPTION section. This variable specifies if option LOGSTREAM or DATASET is to be used during a full system Replacement installation.

If you change the option from LOGSTREAM to DATASET after completing the Modify System Layout (MSL) panel, the options after the Variables panel are disabled. You must review and complete all of the options after the Variables panel so that SYS1.MANx data set allocation is complete, as shown in Figure 4-2.
