Storage class properties
You can set properties for storage classes. Storage classes are available only on z/OS®.
The following table lists the properties that you can set.
For each property, there is a brief description of when you might need to configure the property. The tables also give the equivalent MQSC parameter for the DEFINE, ALTER and DISPLAY STGCLASS commands. For more information about MQSC commands, see Administration using MQSC commands in IBM® Knowledge Center.
General page
The following table lists the properties that you can set on the General page of the Storage class properties dialog.
Property | Meaning | MQSC parameter |
---|---|---|
Storage class name | Read-only. You cannot change the name of the storage class after it has been created. | STGCLASS |

PageSet ID | This is the page set identifier that the storage class is associated with. Type a number, from 00 to 99, two characters long. If this property is blank, the value is taken from the default storage class, SYSTEMST. | PSID |
QSG disposition | Read-only. The queue sharing group disposition of the storage class. You cannot change the
disposition of a storage class after it has been created. Queue manager means that
the object definition is available only to the queue manager that hosts it; Group
means that the object definition is stored on the shared repository and each queue manager in the
queue sharing group has a copy of the definition; Copy means that the object
definition is the queue manager's copy of a definition in the shared repository. |
