Run RPIDIRCT to Create the RPIDIRCT SYSUT1 File

The RPIDIRCT EXEC needs access to three minidisks:
  • A minidisk with the CP directory
  • A minidisk with the DirMaint cluster files (if applicable)
  • A minidisk for the RACF® command output generated by the RPIDIRCT EXEC
  1. You should be logged on to the RACF Administrator user ID you have defined, for example, RACFADM. See Defining Administrator User IDs for Your Own Use.
  2. Link and access the disk that contains your CP directory file. (The default CP directory file name is USER DIRECT and it resides on MAINT's 2CC minidisk.)
    Note: If you are currently running DirMaint then you need to issue the DIRM USER WITHPASS command and put the resulting file on MAINT's 191 A-disk and call it USER WITHPASS. This is the name of the file you want to use in the step that follows that has you issue the rpidirct command. Also you need to link MAINT's 191 disk instead of the 2CC disk.
  3. Consider issuing 
    DIRECTXA filename filetype filemode (EDIT
    to check the validity of your CP directory.
  4. If applicable, link and access the disk that contains DirMaint cluster files. By default the DirMaint cluster files reside on the DIRMAINT 1DF disk. You will need to know the READ password in order to link to this disk.
  5. The RPIDIRCT exec currently expects the cluster files to be located on a disk that has been accessed with a file mode of G. This file mode is hardcoded in the RPIDIRCT exec. Ensure that the cluster files disk is accessed with a file mode of G.
  6. Ensure that the RACF Administrator user ID 191 disk has enough free space and that the user ID building the database (later in the installation) has access to the RACF Administrator user ID 191 disk.
  7. Make sure the CP directory entries will not cause any problems. See General CP Directory Requirements for the problem areas you should check.
  8. Create the CMS file of RACF commands, RPIDIRCT SYSUT1. This file will be used by another step further on in the install process.
