Configuration Files Used for the OSS Name Servers
When a default ZOSSPARM file is created by the OSS Monitor, it contains entries that
have the default values described in ALTER SUBSYS, ALTER MON, and ALTER
PROCESS Commands on page 12-32.
If your system has been upgraded from a G05.00 or later G-series RVU, the OSS
Monitor automatically creates an initial ZOSSPARM file containing the information from
the old system’s ZPOSPARM.
If your system has been upgraded from a G-series RVU preceding G05.00, the OSS
Monitor automatically creates an initial ZOSSPARM file containing the information from
the old system’s TACL PARAMs. See PARAMs Used by the OSS Monitor on
page 2-10.
If your system is upgraded to a G06.17 or later G-series RVU, the OSS Monitor
automatically upgrades an existing ZOSSPARM file and creates a backup copy of your
original file in $SYSTEM.ZXOSSMON.ZOLDPARM.
Figure 4-3 shows how the entries in the ZOSSPARM file affect communications and
diagnostic file logging. An entry also controls the processor in which the FSCK utility
usually runs.
