Customize Fault Analyzer by using an IDIOPTLM configuration-options module

Some aspects of the Fault Analyzer customization can only be performed via SMP/E USERMODs (for details, see Customize Fault Analyzer by using USERMODs), while others must be performed by using an IDIOPTLM configuration-options module.

An IDIOPTLM configuration-options module must consist of the following data area in a load module format.

Table 1. IDIOPTLM data area
Offsets Type Len Name Description
Dec Hex
0 (0) CHAR 44 LEDSN Deprecated
44 (2C) CHAR 44 CNFDSN See Specifying an alternative parmlib data set for IDICNFxx (CNFDSN).
88 (58) CHAR 100 RFRDSN See Changing the default recovery fault recording IEATDUMP data set name (RFRDSN).
188 (BC) BIN 4 CICSNOA See Changing the action of Fault Analyzer when invoked via the CICS XDUREQ global user exit (CICSNOA).
192 (C0) CHAR 44 SSCHKDSN See Specifying an alternative security server test data set name (SSCHKDSN).
236 (EC) CHAR 100 XDUMPDSN See Changing the default extended minidump (XDUMP) data set name pattern (XDUMPDSN).
336 (150) CHAR 100 SDUMPDSN See Specifying the copied SDUMP data set name pattern (SDUMPDSN).
436 (1B4) BIN 4 NOIPVOPT See Ignoring IBM Application Delivery Foundation for z/OS Common Components options (NOIPVOPT).
440 (1B8) BIN 1 PREVEXIT See Suppressing IDIXDCAP real-time analysis if prior exit RC=8 (PREVEXIT).
441 (1B9) BIN 15 Reserved. Must be all binary zeroes.

To specify any of these settings, edit and submit a job to create an IDIOPTLM configuration-options load module. A sample job is provided as member IDIOPTLM in data set IDI.SIDISAM1. Options in the IDIOPTLM load module are read whenever normal options processing is performed.

The configuration-options load module must be named IDIOPTLM and it must be placed in IDI.SIDIAUTH or another APF-authorized library. The library should also be in LNKLST so that the IDIOPTLM load module can be found by all jobs.
