Update VSAM Data Sets

If an installed SMP fix contains maintenance for VSAM data sets, then, to complete maintenance, select maintenance Option V of the Install Utility. The option updates the data sets for the regions you have set up.

Follow these steps:

  1. Access the ISPF/PDF Primary Menu, and select the COMMAND option.

    The ISPF Command Shell panel appears.

  2. At the command prompt, enter and execute the following command:
    EXEC 'dsnpref.LX10.CC2DJCL(INSTALL)'
    

    The Install Utility title panel appears.

  3. Press Enter.

    The Install Utility Primary Menu panel appears.

  4. Enter 5.

    The MAINTENANCE Primary Menu panel appears.

  5. Enter V (Update MODS, PANELS and OSCNTL data sets with installed maintenance).

    The MAINTENANCE MPO Data Sets panel appears.

  6. Review the information, and press Enter.

    The maintenance software generates the members in the dsnpref.LX10.CNTL data set. When generation is complete, a list of generated members and a description of what each member does appears.

  7. Submit and run the job Mz7RFRSH to update the VSAM data sets.
    z

    Is a character that is used to identify the members generated from a fixes data set that contains maintenance for VSAM data sets.

    Note: The utility also generates the following jobs: Mz90DUMP and Mz91REST. If a shared DASD is not available, the jobs help you deploy those updates to a target system. The Mz90DUMP job creates backup data set that include the updated VSAM data sets, which you deploy to the target system. This backup data set is dsnpref.DFDSS.SHAREDz. The Mz91REST job, when submitted on the target system, restores the updated VSAM data sets from the backup data sets.

  8. Press F3.

    The Install Utility Primary Menu panel appears.

  9. Press F4 to exit the Install Utility Primary Menu panel and return to the ISPF Command Shell panel, or continue with the other options.
