Changing the names of IIPS data sets

The Information Center Facility uses a default high-level qualifier of IIPS for IIPS data sets. If your installation specifies a different qualifier when installing IIPS, change the Information Center Facilitydefault. To change the default:

Select the COURSES option on the primary selection panel for Information Center Facility administrators.
Select the DEFAULTS option on the next panel you see (the INFORMATION CENTER COURSES panel).
When the COURSES-MODIFY ADMINISTRATION DEFAULTS panel is displayed, enter the high-level qualifier your installation uses.

The Information Center Facility uses the IISBATCH program to process registration requests. The BCONFIG member of the IIPS.OS.CTLCARD data set contains control statements for IISBATCH. (Your installation might use a qualifier other than IIPS in the data set name.) Before you can register students in a course using the Information Center Facility, BCONFIG must contain the statement DISKnn=YES, where nn corresponds to the number of the data set in which the course resides. The DISKnn statement identifies the course data set to IISBATCH. If the statement is omitted, registration fails. Therefore, your installation needs to ensure that BCONFIG contains a DISKnn=YES statement for each data set that might contain a course in which students can request registration using the Information Center Facility.
