Changing the CA Ideal File Batch Table

Certain changes to the CA Ideal environment require reassembling the CA Ideal Batch File Table. They include:

• Adding new source, panel, and object libraries for new application systems.
• Changing block sizes of VLS libraries.
• Changing or adding entries for sequential file dataviews processed by CA Ideal batch applications (see the Creating Dataviews Guide).
• For VSE, changing the logical unit assignments for unit record and tape files. During installation, the initial file table is generated based on installation parameters. The Site Administrator can change them further as long as no logical unit conflicts are introduced. Notify CA Ideal application developers of these assignments since their JCL for batch applications can depend on them, especially for report output files and sequential dataview files.

The following are the installed file table entries (except sequential dataviews, which are described in the next section). Each entry includes a brief description of what it is and what can be changed.
