Defining system data sets: DSNTIJIN

When job DSNTIJIN is tailored for adding a new member, it defines the new BSDS and active log data sets for that member to use SHAREOPTIONS (2 3). It does not define catalog and directory data sets.

Procedure

To define system data sets:

  1. Check the DEFINE CLUSTER statements in job DSNTIJIN to ensure that they allocate adequate disk space for your system.
    Recommendation: For recovery purposes, place system data sets such as the Db2 recovery log and the VSAM catalog on different disk volumes. Because these data sets are used frequently, do not migrate them by using DFSMShsm.
  2. Run job DSNTIJIN.

    If DSNTIJIN runs successfully, it produces return codes of 0 for all DEFINE statements and steps. Check any VSAM messages carefully.

  3. If job DSNTIJIN fails or abends, run the DSNTIJDE job for the member to delete its BSDS and active log data sets. Then rerun the DSNTIJIN job for the member to re-create those data sets.
