For details about the relationship between the prefix of the license information dataset and the specification status for
the YKSETENV command or IEASYMxx parmlib member, see “Naming for license information datasets” (page 40).
Alternatively, you can define the corresponding system symbols in the IEASYMxx parmlib member
and then perform a re-IPL of the system to set values for the Business Continuity Manager environment
variables. If you cannot perform the re-IPL because the system is running, use the YKSETENV
command to set environment variables.
The priority order for specifying values is as follows:
1. value-specified-by-the-YKSETENV-command
2. value-specified-for-the-IEASYMxx-parmlib-member
3. default-value
If the YKSETENV command is executed without specifying parameters, the corresponding system
symbol values are used as the Business Continuity Manager environment variables. If no value is
specified for the YKSETENV command parameters and the corresponding system symbols, the
default values are used as the Business Continuity Manager environment variables.
The following sections provide examples of configuring the environment. For details about how to
specify the prefixes for license information datasets, see “Naming for license information datasets”
(page 40).
NOTE: If you use the YKSETENV command to set Business Continuity Manager environment
variables, perform the procedure described in “Settings for using CLI commands in TSO/E
environments” (page 23).
Specifying the host ID
When the Remote DKC Control function is being used, to make multiple hosts (OSs) on the same
site use Business Continuity Manager and share one command device in a storage system, specify
the host IDs. If there is only one host (OS) on the site, or you do not make multiple hosts share one
command device, you do not need to specify the host ID.
For the host ID, specify a hexadecimal two-digit number from 00 to 1F that is unique for each OS.
In an LPAR environment, specify a different number for each LPAR.
The examples below show how to specify a host ID. If neither (a) nor (b) is specified, 00 is assumed.
Using the YKSETENV command
The following example sets the host ID to 0F:
START YKSETENV,PARM='YKCMDIF=0F'
NOTE: If you register or change a host ID while BCM is running, the CLI commands will be
executed using the previous set value. The registered or changed host ID will take effect the next
time the YKLOAD command (with a route list specified) is executed.
Defining a system symbol in the IEASYM
xx
parmlib member
The following example sets the host ID to 0F:
SYMDEF(&YKCMDIF='0F')
