How to Prepare Your System for Your Lessons

For the purposes of the lessons in this chapter, ensure that a normal, fully qualified, partitioned data set without members has been allocated. Such a data set is used in the lessons to act as a repository for automation rules, each member of which is a rule, and for testing rules once they have been established. A good name for this test rule set could be userid.TEST.RULES.

For testing, you should always use a test rule set, rather than a production rule set.

  Either proceed to Allocate a Test Data Set to establish your test rules library or ask your systems programmer to do it for you.

• If a Test Rule Set Exists
