Step 1. Make the Command Processor Available to TSO

Ensure that the dialog manager programs are available to the TSO session. This process has been partially completed, since you have already installed the TSO Command Processors, and control program ADSSP202 into one of the system linklist libraries.

To complete the process, modify your ISPF/TSO logon procedure to allocate a ddname of DMSOSLIB that points to the CA Disk load library; that is:

//DMSOSLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CA.DISK.LOADLIB

Also, add to your ISPF/TSO logon procedure a ddname of PARMLIB that points to your CA Disk parameter library:

//PARMLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CA.DISK.PARMLIB

This step is required to give the TSO Command Processors access to other CA Disk programs. The CA Disk control module ADSMI002 always looks for the DMSOSLIB library first, and finds all of the needed CA Disk modules there without searching any other libraries. Your other ISPF functions never waste time searching the CA Disk directory looking for one of their programs.

TSO command processors are available to perform the functions in the following list of modules:

DARCHIVE

Queue a request to archive a data set.

DRESTORE

Queue a request to restore a data set.

DERASE

Erase a queued archive or restore request.

LISTDMS

List the CA Disk index of archived data sets.

LISTREQ

List the status of queued archive/restore requests.

RESTORE

Restore a data set immediately (uses dynamic tape allocation). This command processor must also be designated as privileged.
