General Variables Requirements

Before performing the installation, you must obtain the variables and data set HLQs (High Level Qualifiers).

All JCL and procedures supplied with TIBCO EMS Client for z/OS (CICS) have a standard naming convention. You must replace TIBCO site-specific, installation-defined variables, such as JCL SET statements, procedure overrides, SYSIN data, and system data set HLQ with user values. You must also replace TIBCO Software variables before the JCL can be submitted for execution.

It is good practice that you copy the following table, review, and complete the entries. Column headings are defined as follows:

  • Description: provide instructional information.
  • Variable: provide the variable name as the variable name is displayed in the provided JCL and the member names. There might be several instances of the same variable within a specific member.
  • User Value: insert the appropriate values for your site.
