Defining variables

Before you begin

You must start the Customization Dialog and select your desired task option.

Why and when to perform this task

This section describes how to complete the "Define variables" option that is in all of the main tasks you can perform.

Steps for this task

  1. On the main Dialog panel, type the appropriate number in the Option field to select "Define variables".
  2. Press Enter.

    Result: Depending on what you are configuring, you see a panel similar to the following:

    -----------------     WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Customization      ------------------
    Option  ===>                                                                  
                                                                                  
    Define Variables to configure base Application Server node                    
                                                                                  
       Specify a number and press Enter to define the WebSphere Application       
       server for z/OS variables. You should review all of the variables in       
       each of the sections, even if you are using all of the IBM-supplied        
       defaults.                                                                  
       After you complete all sections, press PF3 to return to the main menu.     
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
                                                       Completed?                 
      1 - System Locations (directories, HLQs, etc)                               
      2 - System Environment Customization                                        
      3 - Server Customization                                                    
      4 - View Security Domain Configuration Panels                                

    This example is from the "Configure base Application Server node" option, but the steps are relatively the same no matter which option you choose.

  3. Follow the options in order and enter information from the define variables worksheets.
    Recommendation: Use the IBM default names the first time you customize WebSphere Application Server for z/OS to make the customization instructions easier to follow.

What to do next

You are done when you finish all the "Define Variables to configure..." panels and a Y is displayed in the Completed? column next to each option. You may then move ahead and save the variable definitions.
