Before you begin: You must establish a DFSMShsm operating environment before running the Functional Verification Procedure. Refer to DFSMShsm starter set for instructions on how to implement the starter set and establish a DFSMShsm operating environment.

Perform the following steps to run the FVP:

1. Run the job called CLEANUP. The JCL for this job step is located in the ARCFVPST member in SYS1.SAMPLIB.

   Example: Refer to Cleanup job for an example of the JCL that is used in the CLEANUP job.

2. Define your automatic class selection filters. If you want DFSMShsm to process SMS-managed data sets during the FVP, you must define automatic class selection filters that allow allocation of those data sets (processed by the FVP) to SMS-managed storage.

   Example: You can use the high-level qualifier defined by the ?AUTHID parameter to determine if data sets are to be SMS managed. You can change the JCL to specify a storage class when it allocates data sets that are to be processed by DFSMShsm during the FVP. Refer to Job step 1: Allocate a non-VSAM data set and a data set to prime VSAM data sets and Job step 4: IDCAMS creates two VSAM data sets for an example of the data sets that are allocated by the FVP.

3. Edit the member ARCFVPST in SYS1.SAMPLIB. Place your appropriate job card parameters on the first job card.

   Example: Refer to Figure 1 for an example of the JCL that is used by this job step.

4. Submit the ARCFVPST JCL. This job step creates the member FVP in the partitioned data set named HSM.SAMPLE.CNTL.
5. Edit the member FVP in HSM.SAMPLE.CNTL. In member FVP are the JCL jobs and procedures that comprise the functional verification procedure. You can adapt this JCL for your system by making global changes to the parameters that begin with a question mark (?). Ensure that you have replaced all FVP parameters by doing a FIND ? to locate missed parameters. Refer to FVP parameters for a description of the parameters that you need to modify before running the FVP JCL.
   Examples: Refer to the following JCL examples while you are editing the FVP member and preparing to run the FVP:

   • Job step 1: Allocate a non-VSAM data set and a data set to prime VSAM data sets
   • Job step SDSPA: Create small-data-set-packing (SDSP) data set
   • Job step 2: Print the data sets created in STEP 1 of job ?AUTHIDA
   • Job step 3 (JOB B): Performing data set backup, migration, and recall
   • Job step 4: IDCAMS creates two VSAM data sets
   • Job step 5 (JOB C): Performing backup, migration, and recovery
   • Job steps 6, 7, and 8: Deleting and re-creating data sets
   • Job step 9 (JOB D): Recovering data sets
   • Job steps 10 and 11 (JOB E): Listing recovered data sets and recalling with JCL
   • Job step 12 (JOB F): Tape support
   • Job step 13 (JOB G): Dump function
6. Submit the FVP JCL for processing. If the FVP requires additional runs to verify the successful implementation of DFSMShsm, run the CLEANUP job before each rerun of the FVP.

   Example: If it is necessary to rerun the FVP, refer to Cleanup job for an example of the JCL that is used in the CLEANUP job.

7. Run the job called FVPCLEAN. The JCL for this job step is located in the FVPCLEAN member in SYS1.SAMPLIB.

   Example: Refer to FVPCLEAN job for an example of the JCL that is used by this job.

8. Start DFSMShsm.
