Application Search Order

z/OS TSO/E Administration
SA32-0977-00

When you invoke an application using an application name, the order of searching the three levels of administration is from private to group to system. Within the three levels of administration, the order of searching for a matching application name first uses the application and session language among the three levels, then the name and default language among the three levels, and finally the name and no language among the three levels.

Finding the application and the desired language takes precedence over finding the application at the lowest level. The lowest-level application name with the correct language is invoked.

When you make a selection on an Application Manager panel to invoke options, searching for the application is the same as a search using the application name. Again, the lowest-level application with the correct language is invoked.

When an application keyword is used to invoke an application, the search process is similar to using the application name. The search order among the levels is from private, to group, to system, respective of the language order. If more than one application among the three levels is found to match the keyword, the Applications Matching Keyword panel appears. This panel contains one row for each unique application name and keyword, with the lower-level applications superseding higher-level applications with the same name, language, and keyword.
