Dataset Alter dialog box

You use this dialog box to issue an IDCAMS ALTER request to alter the datasets and catalogs that you select in the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal.

You access this dialog box in the Dataset Actions submenu. This submenu is available in the pop-up menu that you access by right-clicking specific views in a workspace.

The dialog box provides the following options:
  • Fully Qualified Name: Specifies a new, fully-qualified name for the dataset that you have selected. If you have selected multiple datasets, this field is disabled. Other fields in the dialog box continue to be available.
  • Catalog: Specifies a new name for the catalog that contains the entry.
  • Management class: For SMS-managed datasets only, this option specifies a new name for the management class for a dataset. The name must come from a list of names that the system administrator defines.
  • Storage class: For SMS-managed datasets only, this option specifies a new name for the storage class. The name must come from a list of names that the system administrator defines.

To learn about the standard capabilities of a dialog box, see Standard tabs in the dialog boxes of the Storage Toolkit. The topic includes a link to the Reference guides for commands that are used in the Storage Toolkit.

You can also create a custom action. See Create Batch Job dialog box, Issue Command dialog box, and Submit Command or Job dialog box.
