The catalog initialization and maintenance utility (CACCATUT)
The catalog initialization and maintenance utility (CACCATUT) is a z/OS® batch job that creates or performs operations on a metadata catalog when the data server is stopped.
The catalog-related JCL is customized during the installation customization process. You can configure the standalone CACCATUT JCL to perform one of the following operations when it runs:
- Create and initialize a version 11.3 zFS metadata catalog
- Create and initialize a version 11.3 sequential metadata catalog
- Create and initialize a version 11.3 linear metadata catalog
- Upgrade an existing pre-version 11.3 sequential metadata catalog to a version 11.3 zFS or sequential metadata catalog.
- Upgrade an existing pre-version 11.3 linear metadata catalog to a version 11.3 zFS or sequential metadata catalog.
- Report on space utilization, the contents of a zFS or sequential metadata catalog, and any corruptions that might exist within the metadata catalog.
- Reorganize the contents of a zFS or sequential metadata catalog to reclaim unused space and, where possible, correct any corruptions that might exist.
- Create a version 11.3 zFS or sequential copy of a version 11.3 zFS, sequential, or linear metadata catalog.
- Load system objects into the metadata catalog.
You can set up your metadata catalogs manually. See the guidelines for estimating the size of the metadata catalog for detailed information.
The catalog initialization and maintenance utility is distributed in library SCACLOAD as member name CACCATUT.
