where:

STEPLIB

Is the allocation for the server load library, qualif.EDALIB.LOAD. Allocate this library before any IBM Information/Management data sets or other system load libraries.

All libraries in STEPLIB must be APF-authorized in order for the server load modules to run.

If your installation uses non-APF authorized libraries, you must allocate only qualif.EDALIB.LOAD (which must be APF-authorized) in STEPLIB, and all non-APF authorized libraries under ddname EDALIB.

qualif

Is the high-level qualifier for the data set.

MASTER

Is the allocation for the qualif.MASTER.DATA data set, in which Master Files are found.

The AUTOIMAN facility will create Master Files to describe IBM Information/Management data to the server.

ACCESS

Is the allocation for the qualif.ACCESS.DATA data set, in which Access Files are found.

The AUTOIMAN facility will create Access Files to describe IBM Information/Management data to the server.

FSTRACE

If uncommented, logs all trace output from the Adapter for InfoMan. FSTRACE creates an entry for each retrieved record, and is a useful method for logging all communication with the IBM Information/Management database.

FSTRACE4

If uncommented, logs only trace output summaries. FSTRACE4 displays Program Interface Argument Table (PIAT) criteria, and the number of hits to the IBM Information/Management database (that is, the number of records that satisfied the search criteria). It is effective in filtering out the additional output that FSTRACE provides.
