Configuring the IWNCRHFS job

Edit online

You allocate a hierarchical file system (HFS) data set to a root file system by specifying certain parameters in the IWNCRHFS job.

About this task

The files within an HFS data set are identified by their path and file names within Copy Services Manager.

Procedure

  1. Locate the IWNCRHFS job in the SYS1.SAMPLIB data set and open it.
  2. Modify the following values on your system.
    Note: You can use either an HFS or z/OS file system (zFS). However, the following sample job pertains only to those customers who are using an HFS.
