Administration in z/OS

In the z/OS® environment, commands are issued through the console and others in batch jobs.

  • hlq.SBIPSAMP has all the JCL samples to customize.
  • hlq.SBIPPROC has all the JCL procedures to customize.

STEPNAME

The processes BIPSERVICE and BIPBROKER are in the same address space (control address space). After an Integration Server address space is started on z/OS, the STEPNAME of the address space has the following value:
  • The last eight characters are taken from the Integration Server label.
  • Any lowercase characters are folded to uppercase.
  • Any non alphanumeric characters are changed to the character @.
  • If the first character is not an alpha character, it is changed to A.

The STEPNAME is not guaranteed to be a unique value. However, you are strongly recommended to ensure that the last eight characters of any Integration Server labels that are deployed to a z/OS integration node are unique, and contain only alphanumeric characters; note that an Integration Server label has a maximum size of 3000 bytes.
