Multiple builds on one workstation

z/OS ISPF Software Configuration and Library Manager Guide and Reference
SC19-3625-00

SCLM supports using a single workstation for doing multiple builds either for a single user or multiple users. However, if the builds are taking place at different groups, either the base directory or the subdirectory must differ based on the group. This will avoid the problem of different builds overlaying one another's files.

One setup would have all builds at a specific group in the SCLM hierarchy occur on a specific workstation. In this case, the hierarchy view for all builds taking place on the workstation will be consistent so a single set of directories can be used or the directory names can vary based on the user performing the build.

Another setup would have a separate workstation for each user. In this case, either each user would need to ensure that all builds running concurrently are for the same group or the directory names would need to vary based on the group where the build is taking place.

Two methods to vary the directory name by the build group are:
  • Include the @@FLMGRP variable in the FLMCPYLB allocation of the USERINFO data set. Then ensure that the USERINFO data sets that now include the group name in the data set name also vary the base directory based on the group name.
  • Update the logic of FLMLTWST to accept a parameter with the group name where the build is taking place. Then generate the subdirectory based on the group. The language definition must set the group parameter to @@FLMGRP to pick up the build group.
