Build Production IODF

After you complete the input of your configuration data, you have to build a production IODF from the work IODF. The production IODF is used by the operating system to build the configuration data at IPL time. This active production IODF is used for building the IOCDS.

You can use HCM to perform this task.

Also, a REXX utility called CBDSPROD is provided for this task which lets you build a production IODF from a work IODF. After the production IODF has been built, the work IODF can be used for further updates, because the processor token is refreshed in the work IODF.

For information on how to invoke the REXX utility on the host, refer to Build a Production IODF (CBDSPROD).
