LICON utility reference

The LICON utility provides several functions for handling LICON records.

The functions included are:

  • Initialize a LICON data set. A LICON data set must be initialized before it is used.
  • Create RDE. You can run a single job to register the DMB information for one, some, or all of the DBD/ACBs in the DBD, ACB library, or IMS directory specified.
  • Change RDE. You can change an RDE at any time after an RDE is created.
  • Delete RDE. If an RDE is no longer needed, you can delete it from the LICON data set.
  • Make the current RDE expire, and let the subsequent request for database authorization create a new one.
  • Recover a current RDE from an expired RDE.
  • List the contents of an RDE. You can print a report of the data stored in an RDE.
  • Verify DMB in batch.
