Initializing the local catalog
Before the local catalog can be used to start a CICS® region, you must initialize it with data from the domain manager parameter records and three loader domain parameter records.
About this task
The three loader domain parameter records contain information relating to these resources:
- DFHDMP, the CSD file manager
- DFHEITSP, the RDO language definition table
- DFHPUP, the CSD parameter utility program
Procedure
- To enable you to initialize the local catalog correctly,
with all the records in the correct sequence, run the CICS-supplied
utility DFHCCUTL immediately after you have defined the VSAM data
set. This utility writes the necessary data to the local catalog from the CICS domains.
- The loader domain also writes a program definition record for each CICS nucleus module. The number of records varies depending on the level of function that you have included in your CICS region. Allow for at least 75 of these loader-domain records.
- Use the CICS-supplied utility DFHSMUTL to add records to the local catalog to enable the CICS self-tuning mechanism for storage manager domain subpools.
