zwe init mvs [parameter [parameter]...]

Description#

This command will prepare Zowe custom data sets.

These Zowe YAML configurations showing with sample values are used:

zowe:  setup:    dataset:      prefix: IBMUSER.ZWE      parmlib: IBMUSER.ZWE.CUST.PARMLIB      jcllib: IBMUSER.ZWE.CUST.JCLLIB      authLoadlib: IBMUSER.ZWE.CUST.ZWESALL      authPluginLib: IBMUSER.ZWE.CUST.ZWESAPL

zowe.setup.dataset.prefix shows where the SZWESAMP and SZWEAUTH data sets are installed.

Below data sets will be initialized by this command:

  • zowe.setup.dataset.parmlib is the user custom parameter library. Zowe server command may generate sample PARMLIB members and stores here.
  • zowe.setup.dataset.jcllib is the custom JCL library. Zowe server command may generate sample JCLs and put into this data set.
  • zowe.setup.dataset.authLoadlib is the user custom APF LOADLIB. This field is optional. If this is defined, members of SZWEAUTH will be copied over to this data set. This loadlib requires APF authorize.
  • zowe.setup.dataset.authPluginLib is the user custom APF PLUGINLIB. You can install Zowe ZIS plugins into this load library. This loadlib requires APF authorize.

NOTE: Existing members in custom data sets will not be overwritten by default. You can pass --allow-overwrite parameters to force update.
