Control and Cache Data Sets › Define the Global VCAT and BSDS

Define the Global VCAT and BSDS

Follow these steps:

1. Edit the PREFIX.SVTJCL library member named GLOBAL.

   If the control data sets created by the GLOBAL JCL member need to be renamed to match a site naming standard, rename them now. You can also make general changes to the volume parameters, SMS construct names, and the job cards.

   If you need to change the DSN Prefix or the Virtual Volume Size, you should execute the Customization Panels again and enter the new values so these values can be properly built into the SUTPARMS member. The SUTPARMS member is used to initialize the control data sets.

2. When your review is complete, save the member.
3. Edit the PREFIX.SVTJCL library member named DELETE.

   The DELETE JCL member may contain delete statements and submit other jobs which contain delete statements.

   Important! If the DSN Prefix you entered into the Customization Panels was for an existing CA Vtape Complex, that DSN prefix was built into the DELETE statements in these jobs. If you submit the DELETE JCL member, you will delete the control data sets and the cache and backstore copies of the Virtual Volumes of that existing CA Vtape Complex. That is, you run the risk of creating a data loss situation.

4. When your review is complete, submit the Delete member.
5. Review the job output and the output of any additional jobs that were automatically submitted. Verify that all job steps completed successfully. If any of the jobs failed, take appropriate corrective actions and rerun that job.
