Specifying IDCAMS Delete/Define options

The IDCAMS Delete/Define options are used when the DR preparation job creates IDCAMS delete/define cards for each DBDS defined to IMS.

1. On the Update Disaster Recovery Profile panel (BSY$DPRM), specify U in the Generate DBDS Delete/Define field and press Enter.

     DBDS Delete/Define Option ==> P (None/Global/PDS)
   
     SMS/VOLSER Option         ==> 4 (1=Gen SMS and/or VOLSER)
                                     (2=Gen SMS only)
                                     (3=Gen SMS and VOL(*,*..))
                                     (4=Do not Gen SMS or VOL)
   
     If DBDS Delete/Define Option is PDS:
     PDS Name ==> TSMXD.BSY.IDA.DR.DELDEF.PDS
   
     Delete/Define PDS Option ==> 2 (1=Override in recovery options)  
                                    (2=Pass to recovery JCL)
                                    (3=Create PDS only) 
   
     Key label replication     ==> Y  (Yes/No)
            

2. On the Specify Delete/Define Options panel (BSY$DPDD), specify the following options:

   DBDS Delete/Define Option

   Specify N to indicate that no IDCAMS delete/define cards should be created. Specify G to indicate that global IDCAMS delete/define cards should be created in the DR PDS in members ssidDBDL (delete cards) and ssidDBDF (define cards). Specify P to create a PDS that contains the delete/define cards where a member is created by DD name.

   SMS/VOLSER Option

   Specify the type of SMS and/or VOLSER information you want created for each define card. Specify 1 if you want to replicate the SMS/VOLSER information from the existing data set. Specify 2 if you want only the SMS information created; if this option is selected and the data set is not SMS managed, then the VOLSER information will be created. Specify 3 if you want the SMS information created, but instead of actual VOLSERs, a VOLSER(*,*...*) parameter will be created. Specify 4 if you do not want SMS or VOLSER information created.

   PDS Name

   If the DBDS Delete/Define Option is set to P, then specify the data set name of the PDS that will be created to contain the delete/define cards. Specify the fully qualified data set name with no quotes. If this exists when the DR preparation job runs, it will be deleted and reallocated.

   Delete/Define PDS Option

   If the DBDS Delete/Define Option is set to P, then specify what you want done with the IDCAMS delete/define PDS when the recovery jobs are executed at the DR site. Specify 1 if you want this PDS to be used in the recovery and index rebuild options as the IDCAMS delete/define PDS. If a data set is already specified, this data set will override the specification. Specify 2 if you want this data set to be passed to the JCL skeletons that are created at recovery time for the recovery and index rebuild jobs. Specify 3 if you only want the data set created.

   Key label replication

   If you are using z/OS® data set encryption for DBDS, encrypted DBDS has an encryption key label. If the DBDS Delete/Define Option is active, you can specify the DBDS key label replication option. Specify Y if you want the existing key label information to be set on the KEYLABEL parameter of the DEFINE CLUSTER command. Specify N if you do not want the key label information to be set. The default value is Y.

   You can assign a key label also by SMS Data Class definition. If you assign a key label by SMS Data Class definition at remote site, you should set N for the key label replication option.

3. When you are finished, press Enter.
