Converting to HALDB using the ISPF user interface
You can use the ISPF user interface to convert your full-function databases to HALDB.
Procedure
- When the IMS management of ACBs is enabled, create the IMS catalog staging data sets. You can refer to the examples in CONVERT example: Preparing a staging data set before converting a database when the IMS management of ACBs is enabled.
- To display the DBD Conversion Selection panel,
select option 1 (Continue with Current Project) from the Project
Work panel. If you did not select DBDs, or if you cleared the project data set, this step is necessary.
- Select one of the provided DBD libraries, or enter a specific
DBD library and press Enter to see a list of
DBDs.
When the IMS management of ACBs is enabled, no DBD library is displayed. Press Enter without selecting or specifying a DBD library.
All DBDs and related databases must be converted together. You must select, at minimum, the primary DBD.
All related DBDs and indexes will be automatically included. In addition, you can add DBDs that are not related (from an IMS perspective), and they will be converted at the same time.

- When the IMS management of ACBs is enabled, issue the IMPORT DEFN SOURCE(CATALOG) command to activate the new database definition.
- When the IMS management of ACBs is enabled, take an image copy manually.
- After the conversion process is complete and you are certain that you will not need to revert the database to its non-HALDB state, you can delete any DFSMDA members for the old database.
