Before creating the member

The contents of this member are controlled by the z/OS® product terms and conditions for those PRODUCT statements that contain both IBM® CORP as product owner and z/OS as product name. Before making changes to the PRODUCT statements supplied by IBM in the tailored IFAPRD00 member, see z/OS MVS Product Management.

To create or change an IFAPRDxx member, you need to know how to define a system environment and how to define a product:
  • The system environment can include the system name, sysplex name, LPAR name, hardware name, and VM user ID, if the system is running as a VM guest.
  • The product definition can include the product owner (such as "IBM CORP"), product name, name of a product feature, product identifier, and version, release, and modification level for the product. The definition must include the state, which indicates whether the product is enabled to run on the system, disabled (not allowed) to run on the system, or not defined.

    If the active member includes more than one definition for a product, the system uses the last definition it encounters.
