Initial Policy Database Conversion

The first time that a policy database is opened with the customization dialog, conversion to the current layout is done automatically.

There are special conversion options available by selecting 0 Settings in the Customization Dialog Primary Menu, and then 4 Convert in the Customization Dialog Settings Menu. This displays the PDB Convert Option panel. This panel is used to specify the options for the PDB Conversion. These options are saved in your ISPF profile pool and remain in effect until set again

On this panel, SA z/OS allows you to request the generation of an automation name for application groups during the very first conversion of a policy database. If an application group has an automation name, SA z/OS can generate resources from such entries.
