    To accommodate  .PARMLIB not being readily update-able and/or having general READ access Fault Analyzer provides a mechanism to have the options file in a different PDS.  Using this feature will allow you to have the FA options in a data set that can be accessed and hence facilitate temporary alterations etc.  This is described in the FA Users guide plus I have pasted the relevant section below.  I hope this provides you the flexibility you are looking for.

    Specifying an alternative parmlib data set for IDICNFxx

    To accommodate installations that do not provide general READ access to
    SYS1.PARMLIB (or any one of the data sets in the logical parmlib concatenation),
    Fault Analyzer provides the CNFDSN setting in the IDIOPTLM
    configuration-options module. This setting permits an alternative data set to be
    specified for the IDICNFxx configuration member.
    The specified data set name may contain MVS system symbols.
