Allocate Files (Job N010)

JCLLIB Member: CA07N010 (the prefix CA07 is sometimes overridden in the SYSGEN install macros).

Return Code: 0

Installation Type: New environment. If you are upgrading, you must allocate a GDG index for the SYSMDUMP DD statement that is included in the new JCL for CA7ONL.

The JCLLIB member GDGMDECK provides the IDCAMS input to define this index.

Description: Allocates the agent databases and support files.

Edit member CA07N010 and make the following adjustments as needed.

General allocation notes:

• Using default allocations, this step requires approximately 2000 tracks of 3390 disk space. The individual files and defaults are shown in U7SPACE. These defaults are typically adequate for defining from 200 through 400 jobs to CA WA CA 7 Edition. The number can be higher or lower for your installation depending on several variables. Variables include items like the number of steps and number of DD statements per job. For more information about determining space requirements, see storage requirements.
• The checkpoint data set (DDCKPT) must be allocated as (CYL,1) and is unmovable.
• Both log data sets (DDLOGP and DDLOGS) must reside on the same volume.
• If GDGs are indicated for log tapes on the U7TEST macro, they are defined in the GDGDECK member of the CA WA CA 7 Edition JCLLIB. Examine these definitions for limits and change as needed.
• CA WA CA 7 Edition exploits 64-bit storage, which is not captured in a SYSUDUMP. GDGMDECK allocates a GDG index so that CA WA CA 7 Edition can take SYSMDUMPs when an abend occurs.

VSAM allocation notes:

• Specification for a catalog and its password is sometimes required.
• The IDCAMS control statements for the definition of the CA7AGNT data set are contained in the AGTALLOC member of the CA WA CA 7 Edition JCLLIB.

Run job CA07N010 and confirm the data sets are allocated before proceeding to the next step.

Note: If you experience problems with the allocations, see member CA07N005 before resubmitting CA07N010. The purpose of CA07N005 is to scratch and uncatalog the data sets allocated in CA07N010 so that it can be rerun without duplicate DSN JCL errors.

NCF Note

For NCF2 sites, only the communications data set, NCF communications data set, and undeliverable queues are allocated. No VSAM files are allocated.
