Adding Multiple CA IDMS SASO Documents › Step 1. Create an Alternate DMCL Segment

Step 1. Create an Alternate DMCL Segment

Define the physical components of the new database. You can create a new segment that identifies unique files and area names by specifying values for the following variables, adding other syntax as needed. Keys to variables are contained in source library member ESSAPPDM:

Segment Definition:

• segment-name

File Definitions:

• segment_name.file_name1
• ddname1
• data_set_name1
• segment_name.file_name2
• ddname2
• data_set_name2

Area Definitions:

• segment_name
• start_page1 through start_page5.

Figure A.1 shows file block counts that you use to determine the first page in the area. Be sure to use the same page count, page size, and file block specifications from the initial CA IDMS SASO installation segment for input to IDMSBCF.

Exhibit A.1: Determine First Page Number in Area

Note: There should be only one CA IDMS SASO Document Control segment (ESSFIL3, ESS-CTRLD-AREA) per central version (CV). Therefore, do not include File 3 in this step.
