Issue/Introduction

After applying PTF's to introduce support for Level Set processing the documentation for adding the new Configuration File to Xmanager started task was missing in the Post-Install Tasks.
  
In the Post-Install Tasks we can find options to define and allocate a new CF list structure and create the Xmanager Configuration File. But in option 5, to prepare Xmanager Started Task Procedure, the new PXMCNFG DD is not documented and not generated.  

Environment

Release : 20.0

Component : Execution Manager

Resolution

Including the PXMCNFG DD in the Xmanager started task JCL is not recommended, it is for this reason that it is not documented in the CDBASAMP(PTXMAN) member. Instead of coding the PXMCNFG DD, we recommend coding CFHLQ(hlq) in the XMANPARM member within your Xmanager's PXMPARM DD concatenation.
 
For example, when the XMANPARM member contains CFHLQ(CAPROD.R200), the LPAR name is LPR1, and the XMANID is 2000, the configuration file name CAPROD.R200.LPR1.N2000.PXMCNFG will be used.  
 
Message PXM1003 will reflect this in the Xmanager output:

PXM1003 XMANAGER CONFIGURATION FILE DD=PXMCNFG DSN=CAPROD.R200.LPR1.N2000.PXMCNFG         WILL BE USED.
         XMID=2000
