Step 9. Allocate Backups and Load VLS Files

This step allocates the upgrade backup VLS files and loads the VLS files.

Follow these steps:

  1. Retrieve member BDUPG09 from your INSTJCL library.
  2. Make the required global changes (see the instruction block).
  3. Submit the JCL to complete this step.
  4. Review the output for successful completion which is indicated with a condition code of 00. If you receive any other code, correct your changes and resubmit the JCL.

New versions of the VLS files are created except for ADRPNL, leaving the Version 14.0 versions intact in case they are still needed. The DD statements for these new files can be found in CUSMAC member DDFILE, to be inserted into your CICS startup JCL.

The upgrade installation phase is now complete. Proceed with the steps in the Installation Verification Phase to demonstrate your upgrade installation.
