Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to manage different pool of dataset with specific occurrence of Lserv on the same LPAR.

Environment

Release: 14
Component: Common Services for z/OS

Resolution

You can manage different pool of dataset with several specific occurrence of Lserv on the same LPAR.

You need to assign a unique subsystem name to each occurrence of L-Serv . To do this, change the value for the SSNM= parameter in the L-Serv startup procedure.

Use the ADDFILE command to place each pool of files under the management of the corresponding L-Serv.

Examples:

1. If you run both test and production copies of L-Serv on system SYS01, use the same system name (System where a copy of L-Serv is running) for both copies of L-Serv but use different subsystem names. For example, use LSVT for the test L-Serv and LSVP for the production L-Serv.
2. If you run one occurrence of L-Serv to manage Bundl files and one occurrence of L-Serv to manage Endevor files on system SYS01, use the same system name for both copies of L-Serv but use different subsystem names. For example, use LSVB for the L-Serv managing Bundl files and LSVE for the L-Serv managing Endevor files.
