How do I configure my GSVXGSVS member when I am not using the default SSID?
Here are some options to consider when not using the default SSID of GSVX or have multiple SSIDs
Option 1.
Keep using xxxx as the SSID for SYSVIEW on the test LPAR. The USRM0001 USERMOD will need to be installed to change the GSVBSSID module. This module cannot be shared with other systems so it must go into a library that is unique to the system.
- The advantage is only one configuration data set can be used and have all the configuration members in one place.
- The disadvantage is the USERMOD must then be installed on any system where not using GSVX as the SSID and have a separate GSVBSSID module for those systems.
Option 2.
Use GSVX as the SSID for all systems by having a unique GSVXSCFG system configuration data set for each system.
- The advantage is that the USERMOD doesn't have to be installed.
- The disadvantage is there must be a unique configuration data set for each system.
Option 3.
Use GSVX as the SSID for all systems with just one GSVXGSVX member and one configuration data set for all systems by using IF logic in the GSVXGSVX configuration member.
If the only difference between all the systems is the JES-Name parameter, then use the following IF logic:
)IF SYSNAME=PROD
JES-Name ‘ ’
)ENDIF
)IF SYSNAME=SYSM
JES-Name ‘JESD ’
)ENDIF
If there are other differences, then use IF logic to cover those differences as well. The advantages are there is only one configuration data set, one configuration member and the USERMOD doesn't have to be installed.
One thing to note. If the only difference in the configuration members is the JES-Name parameter, and JESD is the defined as the primary JES2 subsystem on their SYSM LPAR, GSVX can be used as the SSID for both systems with specifying JES-Name ' '. If JES-Name is blank, use whatever is defined as the primary JES2 subsystem for the JES-Name value for that system
