Defining catalog data set names

The Specify Catalogs for HLQ function of the dialog allows you to define a catalog data set name for each alias in your order. Entering option A on the Installation Menu (Figure 1) displays the panel shown in Figure 1.

 *************************** BOTTOM OF DATA *****************************

The catalog names are initially shown as ??????? because they are not yet defined. You can specify the catalog name with which an alias is to be associated by typing over the question marks in the Target System Catalog Data Set Name field. Blank out the rest of the line after the catalog name.

To associate the master catalog with an alias, type over ?MASTER.CATALOG with the actual master catalog name. Then, to use the master catalog for another alias, enter the following command:

?MCAT

To use a catalog name that is already defined for another alias, enter a question mark (?), followed by the alias name, for example:

?SYS1

If a data set must be in the master catalog, then all data sets with the same high-level qualifier must be in the master catalog. If you do not want all data sets with that high-level qualifier to be in the master catalog, you can either:

Rename the data set that must be in the master catalog to use a high-level qualifier that is cataloged in the master catalog (SYS1, for example), or
Rename the data sets that should not be in the master catalog to use a high-level qualifier that will cause them to be cataloged in a user catalog.

For a list of the data sets that ServerPac requires to be cataloged in the master catalog, use the dialog's View and Change Facility to list the data sets having the attribute Master Catalog (for more information, see Viewing and changing data sets). The list of master catalog data sets is also provided in the appendix "Data Sets in This Order" in ServerPac: Installing Your Order.

You can override the master catalog requirement for data sets in your configuration. For more information, see CHANGE MCAT.

STA field indicates, for each currently-existing high-level qualifier, which ones must be associated with catalogs because data sets starting with them existed at the conclusion of Modify System Layout, and which of them must be associated with the master catalog. This field can show any of the following values:

Value: Meaning
(blank): This high-level qualifier can be associated with any catalog. You must associate this high-level qualifier with the master catalog or a user catalog.
M: This high-level qualifier must be associated with the master catalog.
U: This high-level qualifier is not associated with any of the data sets in the work configuration. You created it with the R or I line command on this panel. You must associate it with the desired catalog.

The following primary commands are valid for this panel:

? SET Locate Find Next Previous SORT CANcel SAVE: These are standard commands for panels that display lists. See Primary commands.
CANCEL: This command, abbreviated as CAN, discards any changes that you made since the last checkpoint and exits the Specify Catalogs for HLQ function. (A checkpoint is taken when you enter and exit the function, and after any SAVE command).
SAVE: This command saves any changes that you made and establishes a new checkpoint. (A checkpoint is taken when you enter and exit the function, and after any SAVE command).

The following line commands are valid for this panel:

D: Delete a user-defined alias (only aliases with a status (STA) of "U" can be deleted). You must confirm your delete request on the panel that results. Confirm deletion by entering DELETE in the COMMAND ==> field and pressing Enter.
If aliases are already defined (perhaps because you are reinstalling the package) for one or more high-level qualifiers in the driving system's master catalog, the target system's master catalog, or both, the D line command will not delete them. Any previously defined alias entries must be deleted manually.
I: Insert a user-defined alias. You must specify the alias and catalog name on the panel described in Inserting a user-defined alias.
R: Repeat the insertion of a user-defined alias. You must specify the alias name, but the catalog name is copied from the alias on which you entered this command. See Inserting a user-defined alias.

When an order does not contain any aliases that must be cataloged in the master catalog (often, a subsystem order), this panel shows the following line commands only:

M: Associate the high-level qualifier's alias with the master catalog (the Type field is set to MCAT).
N: Delete an existing master catalog association (the Type field is reset to blanks). You can use this command to reverse the effect of entering line command M earlier, if you change your mind.

When you exit the Define Alias to Catalog Relationships function, your changes are automatically saved. The dialog checks to ensure that all aliases are associated with valid catalog data set names. If not, the panel described in Confirming processing requirements is displayed to prompt you for a correct name.

When this function completes, the panel shown in Figure 2 is displayed.
