Required Parameters
- CONNECT
- specifies
that a user catalog or volume catalog is to be connected to the master
catalog in the receiving system. When you use CONNECT, you must also
use OBJECTS to provide the user or tape volume catalog's name, DASD
volser, and DASD volume device type.
Abbreviation: CON
- OBJECTS((catname
- DEVICETYPE(devtype)
- VOLUMES(volser)))

- catname
- specifies the name of the user or tape volume catalog being connected.
- DEVICETYPE(devtype)
- specifies
the device type of the volume that contains the user or tape volume
catalog that is to be connected. You can specify a device type for
any direct access device that is supported.
You
can specify a generic device name that is supported by your system,
for example, 3390. See Device Type Translate Table for a list
of generic device types.
Restriction: Do
not specify an esoteric device group such as SYSDA, because allocation
can be unsuccessful if: - Input/output configuration is changed by adding or deleting one or more esoteric device groups.
- The esoteric definitions on the creating and using systems do not match when the catalog is shared between the two systems.
- The data set was cataloged on a system not defined with the Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD), but used on a system that is defined with HCD.
