How to use LST parameters

Overview

The Adabas Audit Data Retrieval specific SFF/RFF installation default parameters (LST parameters) are defined in members in the Beta Systems parameter library. This library (called BETA.PARMLIB in this manual) is allocated under the DD name SFFPARM.

Member B97LSTxx contains Adabas Audit Data Retrieval specific parameters, which are described below. For a description of the BETA.PARMLIB and the global SFF/RFF parameters, see "Customization" in BSA Installation and System Guide.

BETA.PARMLIB member B97LSTxx

Member B97LSTxx in the SFF parameter library (BETA.PARMLIB) defines parameters that are used by the Adabas Audit Data Retrieval started task and batch utilities.

This member is created according to your specifications during installation and then copied to the BETA.PARMLIB.

xx can be any numeric or alphabetic character combination. The identifier of the active LST member is specified in the EXEC parameter of the JCL (B97LST=xx).

Specifying parameters in JCL

You can also specify LST parameters in the EXEC statement of the started task procedure or batch utility. An LST parameter in the EXEC statement overrides the value of the corresponding parameter in the LST member.

Changing parameters dynamically

A subset of the LST parameters can be set or changed dynamically via the BSA Service Manager.

The BSA Service Manager panel "Display Modifiable Parameter Keywords/Values" (Option D.S.1.2) shows a complete list of the parameters that you can change dynamically in your subsystem. For more information on using this option, see the BSA Service Manager Manual.

Note: When you set or change parameters using the BSA Service Manager, these changes are temporary and will no longer be valid after restarting the started task.
