Generating an input/output configuration data set

The CPC requires specific data about all attached control units and I/O devices. A text file must be created to supply this information to the CPC. This file can be provided on a USB flash memory drive or transferred from an FTP location to IOCP. IOCP loads this data into the CPC and builds the IOCDS.
Note: The stand-alone version of IOCP is needed only:
  • When you generate (Build action) an IOCDS during initial installation.
  • If your operating system does not have a batch version of IOCP.
