License and enable Z Data Tools

Product enablement in IFAPRDxx

You have the option to include an entry for Z Data Tools in the IFAPRDxx parmlib member as follows:

PRODUCT OWNER('HCL')
NAME('HCL Z DATA TOOLS')
ID(19OP1220)
VERSION(*) RELEASE(*) MOD(*)
FEATURENAME('HCL-ZDT')
STATE(ENABLED)

Sample registration parmlib entry HFMWIFA, which contains the above statements, is provided in your hlq.SHFMSAM1 data set.

After the IFAPRDxx parmlib member is updated, it can be activated dynamically (until the next IPL) using the following console command:

SET PROD=xx 

Additional Z Data Tools IFAPRDxx processing

If a product above is not defined in IFAPRDxx, when Z Data Tools is first invoked it will register during initialization as shown in the HFMWIFA sample.

If a product above is defined with STATE(DISABLED) or STATE(NOTDEFINED), the product will not be selected for registration.

To prevent Z Data Tools from running, use the following IFAPRDxx entry:

PRODUCT OWNER('HCL')
NAME('HCL Z DATA TOOLS')
ID(19OP1220)
VERSION(*) RELEASE(*) MOD(*)
FEATURENAME('HCL-ZDT')
STATE(DISABLED)

HCL advises against defining IFAPRDxx entries that have NAME(*) or ID(*) fields, as this could result in unintended product registrations.
