Scenario QCF22: Creating a Sharing-with-SMP/E runtime environment with a hub monitoring server 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. 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.
