My main question is which should be used? The sysprogs over time do not always read manuals or review parmlib for changes. I know this has been out there for a really long time.
I am trying to understand which is needed today. If we should go with the LINKLIB module, what do I do to SCHEDxx - remove it from PARMLIB? Not worry about it as the LINKLIB over rules the Parmlib? The IRLM team is recommending we let LINKLIB handle this. I can remove IRLM code from SCHEDxx. But since there are other entries in SCHEDxx - I would prefer to do one pass rather than have to come back to this again. So - questions 1) Who wins - LINKLIB or PARMLIB 2) Should SCHEDxx only contain OEM entries and all previous IBM Entries be removed 3) What is best practice Thank you Lizette -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Carmen Vitullo Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2020 7:33 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Help with SCHEDxx Parmlib vs. IEFSDPPT in Linklib It doesn't seem like the posts were answering Lizette's thought/question. <snip> I have been researching whether we need to review all of our SCHEDxx for PPT and remove anything that is currently shipped by IBM in Linklib for IEFSDPPT </snip> This relates to whether you want things in your SCHEDxx that are shipped in IEFSDPPT? If you're not changing the values, why would you want the duplication? That's just extra maintenance for you. Does IRLM instruct you to use SCHEDxx for DFSMVRC0 or DXRRLM00? If so, I wonder why. If they don't, why did you? Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design We went through this with our DISA STIG's Review the IEFSDPPT module and all programs that IBM has, by default, placed in the PPT to validate their applicability to the execution system. Refer to the IBM z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference documentation for the version and release of z/OS installed at the individual site for the actual contents of the default IEFSDPPT. the auditors could not find any reference to the defaults supplied in the init and tuning guide, we found CA-AUDITOR provides a list of what modules are currently in the PPT and where they were defined' the STIG instructed us to use TSO ISRDDN LOAD IEFSDPPT to list the currently loaded PPT entries, but will not show where they came from. I'm with Peter, safe choice ! Does IRLM instruct you to use SCHEDxx for DFSMVRC0 or DXRRLM00? If so, I wonder why. If they don't, why did you? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
