Perform the following steps to define management
classes.
- Select option 3, Management Class, from the ISMF
Primary Option
Menu for storage administrators. This displays the Management Class
Application Selection panel.
_______________________________________________________________
- Supply values on the Management Class Application Selection panel:
- CDS Name
- This is the name of an SCDS.
ISMF primes the CDS Name field
with the last used SCDS name. The default is 'active', which
represents the currently active configuration. You cannot define or
alter the management classes for the active configuration.
- Management Class Name
- This is the name
of the management class. Your management class
names should be generic rather than specific, so that attribute changes
do not make names meaningless or misleading. STANDARD and INTERIM
are examples of generic names. RETAIN30 and BUDAILY are examples of
specific names. ISMF primes the field with the name last used.
- Option
- Select option 3, Define. This
displays the Management Class
Define panel.
You can use the DOWN command to display the second page,
where you can select an attribute group to display first. Selecting
an attribute group is only useful when performing a display, define,
or alter function. You select an attribute group for processing ahead
of other Management Class attributes by entering its corresponding
number in the selection field. You can display panels containing the
other management class attributes by paging up and down in the usual
manner.
_______________________________________________________________
- Supply values on the Management Class Define panel. Use the DOWN

You can leave any page of the Management Class Define
panel without saving the management class by issuing the Cancel command.
