Universal Control Server for zOS - Configuration


Overview

UCTL Server configuration consists of defining runtime and default values.

Configuration File

The configuration file provides the simplest method of specifying configuration values that will not change with each command invocation. This file can be edited manually with any text editor.

The UCTL Server configuration file name is specified in the Universal Control Server component definition. The default name is UTSCFG00. The name refers to a member in the PDS allocated to the Universal Broker ddname UNVCONF.

Note

In order for any changes to the UCTL Server configuration file to become active, either:

  • A Universal Broker refresh is required.
  • The Universal Broker started task must be restarted.
