ISPF Customization Steps

The Customization Process uses input from ISPF panels to create the SUTPARMS configuration member in the PREFIX.SVTJCL data set. The member is then used to define and initialize the control data sets.

The SUTPARMS member contains the variables for the DSN prefix and the Virtual Volume Size. The Virtual Volume Size defaults to 2000 MBs and can be overridden in the OSPOOLS Parmlib member.

Follow these steps:

  1. Type the Following Command in ISPF option 6:
    EXEC 'HLQ.CCUUEXEC(OSINSTAL)'
    
  2. Enter d to Define a New CA Vtape System on the Option line as follows, and press Enter.

    The following is an example of the main menu.

    There are two primary options in the ISPF Customization Panels as shown in the following list:

    (R)egenerate

    Regenerate the SUTPARMS member for an existing CA Vtape complex. You cannot change the previously entered DSN Prefix. Changing the DSN Prefix would make the SUTPARMS member generated incompatible with an existing CA Vtape Complex. The DSN Prefix can only be changed with the Define option.

    Invoke this option to regenerate the SUTPARMS member if it is lost.

    (D)efine

    Generate the SUTPARMS configuration member used to define and initialize the control data sets in a CA Vtape Complex. Changing the CA Vtape DSN Prefix is permitted.

    Invoke this option when defining a new CA Vtape Complex.

    Important! Selecting this option and submitting the generated JCL members can cause data loss if access to existing Virtual Volumes is lost. Select this option only to define and initialize a new CA Vtape complex using a new DSN prefix.

  3. Enter the PREFIX.SVTJCL library data set name allocated with the VTA08NON job. The default SVTJCL data set name is shown. Enter c on the command line and press Enter to continue to the next panel.

    DISP1000 --------------- CA Vtape Virtual Tape System ---------------- SUTPARMS Generator

    COMMAND ===> c C to Continue PF3 to Previous Specify the SVTJCL Data Set Name (Prefix.SVTJCL) SVTJCL Library: CAVTAPE1.SVTJCL____________________________ The SVTJCL data set is the repository for the generated SUTPARMS configuration member. The data set was allocated by customizing and executing member VTA08NON in the CCUUJCL data set. ***

  4. Enter the CA Vtape DSN Prefix. The default value is CAVTAPE1. Enter g on the command line and press Enter to generate the SUTPARMS configuration member.

    Note: The DSN Prefix is the value that CA Vtape uses to create and catalog work data sets dynamically. This value must match the catalog alias that you defined earlier in the chapter "System Setup."

    OSIP130D  --------------- CA Vtape Virtual Tape System ---------------- SUTPARMS Generator COMMAND ===> g G to Generate Session Mode: Define PF3 to Previous The Data Set Name Prefix is used to define CA Vtape System Data Sets. A maximum of 23-characters can be entered.

    When the generation process is complete, you are placed in a browse session to review the generated SUTPARMS configuration member.

  5. Press PF3 to return to the Main Menu. Press PF3 again to leave the Customization Panels or enter a d to correct the DSN Prefix.
