How to work with I/O definition files (IODF)

Overview

This information unit includes:

  • IODF naming convention
  • Working with I/O definition files (specify, change, create, view, backup, delete, copy, export, import, and upgrade IODFs)
  • Working with large IODFs
  • Activity Logging
  • Using an IODF among different release levels

When you start an HCD session, you need to specify the IODF that HCD is to use. How to do this, how to change to another IODF, and how to use HCD tasks to maintain your IODFs is described below.

Before you can activate your configuration, you must build a production IODF. This task is described in Build a production IODF.

Note:
The IODF data sets must be cataloged so that you can use them with HCD.
