Configuration Files Used for the OSS Name Servers
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.
The ZOSSSERV File
The ZOSSSERV file is an Enscribe file containing the OSS Monitor configuration
database that stores information about the characteristics of each OSS name server.
Entries in this file can be displayed with the SCF INFO SERVER command.
