Migrate Baseline Data

(Optional) Baseline data from releases before r12 is stored in VFS. If you want to use this data, migrate the data to the MSDB VSAM file at your earliest convenience.

Note: For baseline data from r12 (which is in MSDB), the S06MIGRT setup job handles the migration.

Follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that the size of MSDB is at least as large as the size allocated to the existing VFS.

    Note: For the cluster definition of MSDB, see the NMC1.rname.JCL(S01LCALC) data set member. If you require a larger size, update the RECORDS parameter. The MSDB parameter group specifies this file.

  2. Log on to your new region.
  3. Enter CMD at the command prompt.

    A command entry panel appears.

  4. Enter the following command: 
    SUBMIT BSYS $CAPKCAL $DFDBPKG DFDBMIGRATE FDSN=vfs_data_set RESET=YES

    The migration starts as a background process, enabling you to perform other tasks. When the process completes, a DFDBPKG25 message is written to the activity log. The log also contains other messages that records the process. The MSDB file is cleared, and the data is migrated.
