The installation defaults for Beta products are defined in members of the Beta parameter library.
The documentation uses the default name BETA.PARMLIB for this library. The members are called BnnLSTxx.
The BETA.PARMLIB is allocated during installation by the BSA installation job I#BSAJ12. The dataset name of this library is specified in the JCL of batch jobs and started task procedures in the SFFPARM DD name.
The dataset referenced by SFFPARM must be a PO dataset with a logical record length of 80. The relevant parameter members are selected from this library during program start according to the selection algorithm described in "Selection of parameter members".
Note: Do not concatenate multiple datasets in the SFFPARM DD name. Only the first library is searched for the parameter member.
Note: Do not code a member name in the SFFPARM DD name. The name of the library must be coded for the selection algorithm to work.
The BETA.PARMLIB contains all installation parameter members for Beta products.
The members in the BETA.PARMLIB contain two different kinds of LST parameters:
SFF and RFF are BSA components used by all Beta products. The SFF is used for the product started task, and the RFF is used for the batch jobs which sign on to the started task. Only one global parameter member is necessary; it can be used in common by all the Beta products that are installed. The global SFF parameters are described in these sections:
The product-specific parameters are described in the Beta product Installation and System Guide in the "Customization" chapter.
