Saving the customization variables

Before you begin

You must have completed the definition of the variables, which is outlined in the article Steps for defining variables.

Why and when to perform this task

This section tells you how to complete the "Save customization variables" option that is in all of the main tasks you can perform. Saved variables are valuable because you can just import them from the saved data set when you need to set up the same server or a different server using identical variables.

Note: It is especially useful to save, in different data sets, the variables for each of your servers. This makes it much easier to recreate or clone any of them when the need arises.

Steps for this task

  1. On the main Dialog panel, type the appropriate number or letter in the Option field to select "Save customization variables".
  2. Press Enter.
    Result: You see the Save Customization Variables panel, which looks similar to this:
    -----------------     WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Customization      ------------------
    Option  ===>                                                                  
                                                                                  
    Save Customization Variables                                                  
                                                                                  
      Specify the name of a sequential data set to contain the                    
      customization variables, then press Enter to continue. If the               
      data set does not exist, the Dialog displays the Allocate New               
      Data Set panel, with which you can allocate a data set.                     
                                                                                  
        Data set name:                                                               
  3. Follow the options in order and enter information from the Save customization variables worksheet (be sure to enclose your data set name in single quotes), then press Enter.

Results

You are done when you successfully save the variables.
