Specifying attributes of the CICS Transaction Server system data sets

DSINFO dsindex volume disktype qualifier

Defines the following attributes of CICS TS system data sets:

dsindex

Assigns a high-level index to all the data sets defined by the jobs, DFHCOMDS, DFHDEFDS, EYUCMSDS, EYUWUIDS, and EYUCSYDS.

The leading character of dsindex must be alphabetic. dsindex can have one or two levels of index, but each level must be no longer than eight characters. If you specify more than one level of index, the names must be separated by a period, for example, CICSTS64.CICSHTC1.

volume

The volume identifier of the volume.

disktype

The UNIT parameter for the volume.

qualifier

A partial qualifier added to the index for the data sets created by the jobs DFHCOMDS, DFHDEFDS, EYUCMSDS, EYUWUIDS, and EYUCSYDS. You can specify a partial qualifier of up to four alphanumeric characters; these characters are appended to the characters CICS to make the qualifier. If you specify a period (.), no qualifier is used.
