Migrate from Basic to Enhanced Filters

To migrate from Basic to Enhanced filters, you must run a conversion utility. Sample JCL can be found in HLQ.CCUUJCL(SVTDSCNV). You must modify this JCL to point to the appropriate parmlib data set and members.

After the conversion utility has been run, you must modify the ParmlibDirectory section of the parmlib. The default member for this section is VTPARMS. After you are in edit mode, you should replace $BASIC in the DatasetFilters attribute in the Parmlib Directory Section with the member name used for the conversion. The default member is VTFILTR. After saving the change, issue the SVTn REFRESH=FILTERS console command for each CA Vtape subsystem sharing the updated parmlib to activate Enhanced mode filters.

CA Vtape supports switching from Enhanced mode back to Basic mode, however; changes made to the filters in Enhanced mode are not included in Basic mode. Conversely, any changes made in Basic mode are not automatically included when switching back to Enhanced mode. You must run the filter conversion utility again to convert the Basic mode changes to Enhanced mode.
