Adding entries to the MVS program properties table

Several of the tools that are included in the IMS Recovery Solution Pack require entries in the MVS program properties table (PPT) in order to operate.

Procedure

  1. Use the statements in the SFRXSAMP(FRXPPT) sample member to update your SCHEDxx member of the SYS1.PARMLIB data set. The sample member contains the following entries: 
    PPT PGMNAME(FRXSDR00)   /* DRF */ 
          CANCEL                  /* PROGRAM CAN BE CANCELLED */ 
          KEY(7)                  /* PROTECT KEY ASSIGNED IS 7 */ 
          NOSWAP                  /* PROGRAM IS NON-SWAPPABLE */ 
          NOPRIV                  /* PROGRAM IS NOT PRIVILEGED */ 
          DSI                     /* REQUIRES DATA SET INTEGRITY */ 
          PASS                    /* CANNOT BYPASS PASSWORD PROTECTION  */ 
          SYST                    /* PROGRAM IS A SYSTEM TASK */ 
          AFF(NONE)               /* NO CPU AFFINITY */ 
          NOPREF                  /* NO PREFERRED STORAGE FRAMES */

PPT PGMNAME(IROMAIN)    /*  IMSRE */ 
          CANCEL                  /* PROGRAM CAN BE CANCELLED */ 
          KEY(7)                  /* PROTECT KEY ASSIGNED IS 7 */ 
          NOSWAP                  /* PROGRAM IS NON-SWAPPABLE */ 
          NOPRIV                  /* PROGRAM IS NOT PRIVILEGED */ 
          DSI                     /* REQUIRES DATA SET INTEGRITY */ 
          PASS                    /* CANNOT BYPASS PASSWORD PROTECTION */ 
          SYST                    /* PROGRAM IS A SYSTEM TASK */ 
          AFF(NONE)               /* NO CPU AFFINITY */ 
          NOPREF                  /* NO PREFERRED STORAGE FRAMES */
 
 PPT PGMNAME(IIUSTART)  /* IIB */
          NOSWAP                 /* PROGRAM IS NON-SWAPPABLE */ 
 
 PPT PGMNAME(IIUBSCTL)  /* IIB */
          NOSWAP                 /* PROGRAM IS NON-SWAPPABLE */
  2. To activate the updated PPT, either:
    • Run the IPL (initial program load) again for the MVS system where you have identified SCHEDxx in the IAESYSyy IPL member.
    • Issue the MVS SET SCH= command specifying the suffix for the SCHEDxx member that was changed.
  3. Repeat these steps for each MVS system on which the products run.
