Before starting the WLM application

To start the WLM application, you use the TSO/E REXX exec IWMARIN0. The exec concatenates (via LIBDEF and ALTLIB), the following libraries necessary to run the application:

Table 1. WLM libraries
Library Content
SYS1.SBLSCLI0 Application REXX code
SYS1.SBLSKEL0 Application skeletons
SYS1.SBLSPNL0 Application panels
SYS1.SBLSTBL0 Application keylists and commands
SYS1.SBLSMSG0 Application messages

The exec also allocates some MVS™ partitioned data sets for the service definition using TSO ALLOCATE, and then invokes the WLM panels. If you have different data set conventions for your IPCS/WLM libraries, or if you use storage managed data sets, you should use the WLM application exits IWMAREX1 and IWMAREX2. For more information about how to code the exits, see Customizing the WLM ISPF application.
