TSSXTEND and TSSRECVR › Copy the BDAM and VSAM Files

Copy the BDAM and VSAM Files

Use this procedure to copy a security file converted to use VSAM.

Follow these steps:

1. Run VSAMDEF3 to allocate the new VSAM file. Run STEP 2 only if the security file is shared.

   IDCAMS creates a new output VSAM file.

2. Edit TSSMAINS by completing the following steps:
   1. Change //VSAMFILE DD to specify the output VSAM data set.
   2. For VSAM, if the security is shared change //VSAMAIX DD statements in STEP 2 to specify the output VSAM alternate index.
3. Run TSSMAINS.

   Important! Do not run STEP 2 if the security file is not shared.

   The BDAM file is allocated and the VSAM header is written.

4. Edit TSSXTEND by completing the following steps:
   1. Change //SECNVSM DD to specify the new VSAM data set.
   2. Change //SECOVSM DD to specify the old VSAM backup data set.
5. Run TSSXTEND.

   The TSSXTEND job:

   • Verifies that the timestamp in the new BDAM and new VSAM match
   • Verifies that the timestamp in the old BDAM and old VSAM match
   • Links TSSVBKUP to copy old VSAM to new VSAM
   • Rewrites the VSAM header with the correct new timestamp
   • Searches the SDT for records to go to VSAM

Note: TSSMAINT allocates the BDAM file and puts a header record into the VSAM file.
