Initialize the Event Capture Index Data Set (INST0030)

You initialize the Event Capture index data sets to catalog a list of captured events. The Event Capture index is used even if the Event Capture option is not available. You can take and send event captures to CA for diagnostic purposes.

Note: If you are upgrading and reusing the index data set from the prior release, you can skip this step.

A common or shared index data set can be used for all systems when the data set is allocated on shared DASD. A separate index data set can also be used for each system. This index file is defined as a VSAM KSDS (key-sequenced data set). If separate index data sets are used, the high-level qualifier you specified for the index data sets must contain the system name. Specify the system name using the &SYSNAME symbolic parameter.

Follow these steps:

1. Review the INST0030 member in the sysview.SAMPJCL data set to ensure all of the files that the job references are correct.
2. Submit the member INST0030.

   When the job ends with a condition code of 0, the Event Capture index data sets are successfully initialized.
