Parmgen enhancement for OMEGAMON XE z/OS 5.3, XE CICS 5.3, PE for DB2 5.3, MQ 7.3 etc.

RFE for Parmgen OMEGAMON XE z/OS 5.3, XE CICS 5.3, PE for DB2 5.3, MQ 7.3 etc.:

We have several user modified members in different libs which we always have to take care not to overwrite them by parmgen.
Most customized members are in RKANPARU or RKD2PAR, but we also have members in RKANCMDU, RKANMACU, UKANWENU.

To avoid overwrite, runtime Libs should stay unchanged and all modified members shoud be stored in an own Userlib (some UKAN* libs already exist This logic is not consistently implemented for all products.
To satisfy our company standards we urgently need a special HLQ for all kind of user customizable libs, p.e. UKANPARU, UKD2PAR, UKANCMDU, UKANMACU, UKANWENU
These libs we need in shared version for definitions which are same for all lpars and for each lpar.
So we need a user specific lib for all kinds of libs which may contain user modifications (parms, panels, commands etc.)

our request:
- freely selectable Parmgen HLQ (p.e. RTE_UHILEV) -> very important!
- freely selectable Parmgen volume (p.e RTE_UHILEV_VOLUME)
- for shared libs
- for lpar specific libs
- generated into STC and JOB jcl by parmgen -> very important!

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - Servers and Systems Software
    Product family - z Systems Software
    Product - Tivoli Management Services on z/OS
    Component - Product functionality
    Source - Other

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:

    Product family - z Systems Software
    Product - OMEGAMON for z/OS
    Component - Installation
    Source -

    Yes, you understood correctly:
    RTE_HILEV_UKAN and
    RTE_X_HILEV_SHARING_UKAN
    or perhaps (may be that's closer to your curent WCONFIG logic):
    RTE_U_HILEV
    RTE_U_HILEV_SHARING

    As you explained, these libs will contain user modified runtime modules which currently are stored in RKANPARU, RKANCMDU, RKANMODU, RKANSAMU, RKANSQLU, RKD2PAR
    And the most important is that these UKAN*U libs are not changed by parmgen.

    Thank you for the submission - we are currently evaluating it but need to some more information to fully understand the scenario.
    For example, are you wanting PARMGEN to support a new RTE_HILEV_UKAN parm. that then allocates an empty set of user libraries, and let you as a client populate it with just runtime members that are purely your copies?
