Creating cloud definitions and loading them into storage

If you intend to archive data to and restore data from a cloud storage environment, you must create the cloud definitions and then load them into storage. Otherwise, you can ignore this step.

1. If you have already started the product's ISPF interface, you can ignore this step and go on to step 2; otherwise, at the Option prompt on the ISPF menu panel, type TSO AXQISP and then press Enter to start the Advanced Archive for DFSMShsm ISPF interface.
2. At the Option prompt on the Advanced Archive for DFSMShsm Main Menu panel, type 0 and press Enter.
3. At the Option prompt on the Settings Menu panel, type 4 and press Enter.
4. From the Cloud Definition List panel, begin creating a cloud definition by using either of these methods:
   • Use the C primary command to start a completely new cloud definition:
     1. Type C at the Option prompt and press Enter.
     2. At the Select one prompt on the Cloud Types pop-up panel, type the appropriate letter for the type of cloud definition that you want to create. Press Enter to display the Cloud Definition Entry panel.
   • Use a line command to start a cloud definition by modifying an existing cloud definition:
     1. Locate in the list a cloud definition of the appropriate type and type C in the Cmd column next to that definition.
     2. Press Enter to display the Cloud Definition Entry panel.
     Note: You cannot change the cloud definition type from the Cloud Definition Entry panel. If the list of existing cloud definitions does not contain a definition of the appropriate type, use the C primary command to create the new definition.
   Note: To modify an existing cloud definition without changing its name or type, use the E (Edit) line command.
5. On the Cloud Definition Entry panel, complete the fields by specifying the appropriate information in the text entry areas.
   Note: The fields that appear on the Cloud Definition Entry panel are specific to the cloud type. Press F1 to display field description information.
6. When you have completed your cloud definition, press F3 to save the definition and display the Cloud Definition List panel.
7. Press F3 to exit the Cloud Definition List panel and display the Settings Menu panel.
8. On the Settings Menu panel, type X at the Option prompt and press Enter.
9. On the Main Menu panel, type X at the Option prompt and press Enter.
10. Optional: This step is required only if you have cloud definitions that have changed after the AXQTINIT started task was started up in ACTDYN mode. Load the cloud definitions into storage by issuing this command:
