Can SYSTEM Symbolics be used in the YAML file for SYSVAPPS in a shared SYSPLEX?

Issue/Introduction

I am coding the application.yml file for use with SYSVAPPS. 

The YAML file is in a shared SYSPLEX.

We have multiple DNS names on the system and using LOCAL HOST could retrieve the wrong one.

Does the YAML file supports the use of  symbolics to  resolve the host name?

server:                    
    address: host.name.com 
    port: ####     

Environment

SYSVIEW all releases

z/OS

Resolution

The YAML file doesn't currently make use of system symbolics.   Instead, we suggest pointing to different config files using symbolics in the JCL. So for instance, the JCL might look like:

//STDENV DD PATH='&APPSHOME./config/&SYSNAME./stdenv.cfg'
//*                                            
//MAINARGS DD PATH='&APPSHOME./config/&SYSNAME./args.cfg'

 

Then the args.cfg in the system-specific folder could point to the correct yaml file.
