Format and Initialize Files (Job N030)

JCLLIB Member: CA07N030 (the prefix CA07 is sometimes overridden in SYSGEN).

Return Code: 0

Installation Type: New environments

Description: Initializes or formats CA WA CA 7 Edition files. Depending on the options that are specified in your Stage I SYSGEN, the steps necessary for your site are included. The following items are the possible steps:

  1. Create first GDG of the CA WA CA 7 Edition log dump file.
  2. Create first GDG of the CA WA CA 7 Edition log history file.
  3. Format the CA WA CA 7 Edition browse data set.
  4. Initialize the communications data set.
  5. Initialize the cross-system coupling facility (XCF) data set.
  6. Initialize the XCF checkpoint data set.
  7. Initialize the NCF communications data set.
  8. Initialize the NCF undeliverable queue.

Some of the preceding steps use JCL procedures that are copied in the previous step. Before you submit the job, ensure that these PROCs are accessible. Run job CA07N030 before proceeding to the next step.

Note: If you must reinitialize only a single data set, see the JCLLIB member in the following group for special JCL to accomplish this task.

CA07N700

CA WA CA 7 Edition communications data set (COMMDS)

CA07N705

XCF data set (XCFDS)

CA07N707

XCF checkpoint data set (XCFCKPT)

Specifications for a catalog and its password are sometimes required.

Note: For more information about the NCF DASD requirements, see the Interface Reference Guide.
