Installing the DFSORT SVC

How To


Summary

If you require DFSORT's SVC, it needs to be installed. Also, if necessary, it is possible for the DFSORT SVC and the Syncsort SVC to coexist.

The DFSORT installation default is to use SVC=(109). If you choose to use the installation default, you need to load (add SICELPA) the SVC into LPA or MLPA.
.
Alternately, the installation default for the SVC can be changed to use:
An alternate SVC 109 (IGX00038), or
To use a user SVC (for example, specified as SVC=(109,ALT) or SVC=239).
.
If you choose to use the alternate SVC or a user SVC, you will need to do the following and load (add SICELPA) the SVC into LPA or MLPA.
.
a. Create a copy of SVC 109 using the sample jobs ICESVREC and ICESVAPP. Ensure the FMID is correct (HSM1K00 for DFSORT V1R12/R13, or HSM1L00 for DFSORT V2R1). Change ICESVC to the new module name (for example, IGX00038 for the alternate SVC or IGC0023I for SVC 239). Use the same SMP target zone and options you use for installing z/OS products.
b. Make the new copy of the SVC available on your system by placing the updated SICELPA library where you have the SVCs on your system.
c. Change the DFSORT SVC installation default value to use your selected SVC number. Instructions for modifying your DFSORTinstallation default values are given below, under Customization. For example, use SVC=(109,ALT) for the alternate SVC or SVC=239 for SVC 239.
.
You want to use the most current FMIDs.
