10.1 Platform Configuration File Location

The location of the platform configuration file depends on which operating system the platform is using. More information than the summaries in this section can be found in Section IV, Platform Services Administration. Also be aware that this guide is one of three available administration guides for the Fan-Out Driver, each tailored to the range of platforms with which it can work:

10.1.1 z/OS

For z/OS, the default configuration file for the Platform Services Process is member ASCPRM00 in the partitioned data set allocated to the ASCPARMS ddname. The default configuration file for the Platform Receiver is the z/OS sequential data set or partitioned data set member allocated to ddname ASAMCONF. You can use a JCL EXEC statement PARM to specify a different configuration file.

10.1.2 i5/OS

For i5/OS (OS/400 operating system), the default configuration file is /usr/local/ASAM/data/asamplat.conf. You can use a command line parameter to specify a different platform configuration file.

10.1.3 Linux and UNIX

For Linux and UNIX, the default configuration file is /usr/local/ASAM/data/asamplat.conf. You can use a command line parameter to specify a different platform configuration file.
