Multisystem Deployment › Data Set Deployment

Data Set Deployment

During the deployment, you copy data sets to the target systems.

One method to distribute data sets is to use a backup utility, such as DFDSS, to create a single data set. You then transfer that data set to the target systems and restore its content.

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, copy the created backup data sets and the S11REST job to the target system. On the target system, you submit S11REST to restore the configuration files.
