Tailoring files

In the file-tailoring phase, the IVP uses variables that you specified during the variable-gathering phase to prepare a customized set of IVP JCL and tasks to be stored as members of the INSTALIB data set for use in the execution phase.

The ISPF file-tailoring facility creates this input by updating and building members in the INSTALIB data set based on the options you choose in this phase.

The IVP names the INSTALIB members according to the environment option that was chosen:
  • IV1ssnnt - DBB - Batch system
  • IV2ssnnt - DBC - DBCTL system
  • IV3ssnnt - DBT - DB/DC system
  • IV4ssnnt - XRF - XRF system
  • IV9ssnnt - DCC - DCCTL system
Where:
ss
Step number
nn
JOB/TASK/INDEX item number within the step.

The item numbers are not guaranteed to be in ascending sequence. Service changes might disrupt the apparent sequence.

t
J for job, T for task, N for Non - job (such as an example)
