Data Set Deployment

During deployment, you copy data sets to the target systems. However, in a shared DASD environment, you do not need to copy shared data sets.

Note: When deploying CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP with other CA NetMaster products, such as CA NetMaster NM for SNA, additional data sets specific to these products may also be required. For information, see the Best Practices Guide specific to those products.

You must copy the following data sets:

The following data sets can be shared:

One method to distribute data sets is to use a backup utility, such as DFDSS, to create a single data set that can be transferred to the target systems and restored.

When the Install Utility sets up a region, the utility creates the following data set members:

S10DUMP

Creates backup data sets that include the configuration files for the region. These backup data sets are dsnpref.DFDSS.LOCAL (containing files specific to the region) and dsnpref.DFDSS.SHARED (containing files that multiple regions can share).

S11REST

Restores the configuration files from the backup data sets.

After you submit the S10DUMP job, you use SDS to deploy the created backup data sets to the target system. Also, you copy the S11REST job to the target system. On the target system, you submit S11REST to restore the configuration files.
