Scenario QCF17: Creating a Sharing-with-SMP/E runtime environment with agents only and variables enabled
A sharing-with-SMP/E runtime environment (RTE) contains LPAR-specific libraries and references the read-only target libraries managed by SMP/E. Because an RTE that shares the SMP/E target libraries is updated when the SMP/E maintenance is applied, a sharing-with-SMP/E configuration is good for testing maintenance before other RTEs are updated. There is no TEMS configured in this local RTE because this RTE model assumes that a TEMS (Hub or Remote TEMS) is already deployed in another RTE (if the TEMS is running on z/OS platform), or is already deployed in another non-z/OS platform (z/Linux, Windows, or AIX machines). By using variables in the new RTE, you can quickly reconfigure operational values without recreating the RTE, or clone the RTE and transport it to other LPARs.
