Configuring Your Product › Activate the CA Disk System › CA Disk Parameter Library (PARMLIB) › Step 5. Initialize the FDS

Step 5. Initialize the FDS

After your subfile definition member FILEDEFN has been created as outlined above, run the following JCL to allocate and initialize the FDS. Your output consists of a status report based upon your definitions. You can find a sample in the Sample FDS STATUS Report in the Systems Guide.

Special note for RACF users: By default, CA Disk bypasses a data set if the VTOC entry for it indicates it is RACF-indicated. Details on instructing CA Disk to process these data sets are presented in the topic Installing the RACF Security Interface. Therefore, if the FDS becomes RACF‑indicated as soon as you allocate it, you can receive message 0725 saying that the data set has been bypassed (and therefore not initialized). Either unprotect the FDS for the duration of the initialization run, or specify sysparm RACFSUPP with a value of Y, which allows the function to complete.

The following JCL can also be found as member FILEINIT in the installation library:
