IOEFSPRM file considerations
The same IOEFSPRM file cannot be shared with z/OS V1R3 across systems in a sysplex if
the file contains the following types of specifications:
A multi-file system aggregate specification such as:
define_aggr
Data sets that cannot be shared such as:
– A msg_output_dsn specification
– A trace_dsn specification
– debug_settings_dsn specification

In z/OS V1R4 system symbols can now be specified for data set names in the IOEFSPRM
configuration file, to make it easier to share a single IOEFSPRM file in a sysplex.
