Updating Catalog Connector Records

A connector record is a record in the master catalog for a user catalog. For shared catalogs, this record requires updating if another system has moved the catalog.

If a connector record must be updated due to a change in device type or volume serial number for the catalog, use the IMPORT CONNECT ALIAS command. Specifying ALIAS preserves any aliases already defined for the catalog.

Use the OBJECTS parameter to indicate the changed device type and volume serial number.

A moving user catalogs example follows:

   //IMPORTCN EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
   //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
   //SYSIN DD *
     IMPORT CONNECT ALIAS -
        OBJECTS((ICFCAT.USER.VSYS303 VOLUMES(SYSNEW) -
           DEVT(3390))) -
        CAT(SYS1.MASTERB.ICFCAT)
