Usage notes

  • Use the MIGRATE RCDS command with DEFAULTS(YES) if you want to copy CICS VR Server AS defaults from the RCDS of previous releases.
  • If you miss the MIGRATE command DEFAULTS(NO) is specified.
  • The DWWIN DD is required for a migration job, specify //DWWIN DD DUMMY if you do not want to explicitly specify a migration option.
