Serializing the LICON data set
If you want more than one MVS system to access the LICON data set, you must serialize the LICON data set. This step is optional.
Procedure
To access the LICON data set from more than one MVS system, you must install Global
Resource Serialization (GRS) or a similar global enqueue product.
GRS processes the resource as a global resource. The global enqueue
product must propagate the enqueues to all MVS hosts. If the enqueues are not propagated
to all hosts that have access to the LICON data set, the data set
becomes corrupted and unusable.
The LICON data set is enqueued with the following parameters at the SYSTEMS level:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| QNAME | 'FABLICON' |
| RNAME | The name of the LICON data set |
