USSHOME
The USSHOME system initialization parameter specifies the name and path of the root directory for CICS® Transaction Server files on z/OS® UNIX.
- USSHOME={/usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts52 | directory | NONE}
- The value for the USSHOME system initialization
parameter must match the directory that you specified for CICS Transaction Server files
on z/OS UNIX when you installed CICS using the DFHISTAR
installation job. The default value for the USSHOME system
initialization parameter is /usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts52,
which matches the default values for the DFHISTAR installation job. The maximum length of the USSHOME system
initialization parameter is 255 characters.
If you changed any of the TINDEX, PATHPREFIX, or USSDIR parameters in the DFHISTAR installation job, you must specify a value for the USSHOME system initialization parameter to match the name and path that you specified for the root directory using those DFHISTAR parameters.
If you specify USSHOME=NONE instead of specifying a directory name, CICS does not use any default root directory in the UNIX System Services file system. In this case, some CICS functions that request data from this directory might produce unpredictable results.
