Personally, I prefer to keep static data in configuration files rather
than code. We put the Define and Modify statements for Vswitches in a
separate file, which we include in the main file with an Imbed
statement. We also split out the I/O definitions and things that are
common to all of our nodes, such as time zones, into separate files.

Subject: [IBMVM] Vswitch grant - SYSTEM CONFIG or Command?
Having just added two more grants to my SYSTEM CONFIG file, I'm
wondering if there is any advantage to having them all here as opposed
to doing them dynamically in AUTOLOG1's profile.
The advantage to doing them in AUTOLOG1 is that I already have a list of
images there that I want to bring up, and could easily run through the
list to do the grant just before autologging them. I could even run
through the lists for all the systems so that the grants would be in
place if an image needed to move from on system to the other. This way,
I could maintain one list, and would be able to do it from my userid,
instead of having to log into MAINT.
Is there a disadvantage to doing it this way, over having them defined
in SYSTEM CONFIG? Is there a memory advantage to doing them in SYSTEM
CONFIG?
This is just the type of thing I sit here and think about on Fridays....
