As you plan how you will implement the recommended data set placements, be sure to include the following activities:

• Decide whether to merge data sets.
• Determine which data sets to move and where to move them.
• Choose a volume serial naming convention if you plan to use indirect volume serial support.
• Decide whether to use your existing master catalog.
• Move data sets to appropriate volumes.
• Update SMP/E DDDEFs.
• Update catalog entries to point to appropriate volumes.
• Update IEASYMxx in your parmlib, using volume naming conventions.
• If using ServerPac or SystemPac (dump-by-data-set format), save your configuration for the next release.
• Update any environmentals that are applicable.
