Change it to meet your needs. The default of 8181 should be fine 99% of the time. The value 'MYRXS' will be the name of your Apache web server instance and will also create a library named MYRXS for your development environment. Note that if you are upgrading, this value should be MYRXS14 where 14 is the version being upgraded to.

   RSTLIB SAVLIB(RXS) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/RXS) RSTLIB(RXS)

   CALL RXS/INSTALL PARM('RXS' '8181' 'MYRXS')
