Creating the communications data set

To create the Communications Data Set (COMMDS), member GTDALCCM, which is located in SGTDSAMP, is necessary.

Note: The Communication Data Set must be on a cylinder boundary with contiguous space. It must reside on a device that supports CKD/E.TDMF may attempt to exploit the Parallel Access Volume (PAV) and/or Cache Fast Write (CFW) features if available for the Communications Data Set device. This processing comes into effect for Agent systems if the device supports PAV and there are at least 11 volumes in a session. For the Master system, the trigger for PAV/CFW utilization is more complicated and involves both the number of volumes and the number of Agent systems; therefore, for a large migration session, a performance improvement can be expected if the Communications Data Set is allocated on a device that supports both PAV and CFW.
