Issue/Introduction

One of the Post-Configuration Tasks is Creating an Executable System, in which it says that you have to "Copy the tasks and programs from System 99 to your specified DC system".

This article describes how to do that.

Environment

IDMS, all supported releases.

Resolution

This must be done with an RHDCSGEN batch job step (System Generation in batch).

Use the RHDCSGEN batch job step in JOB17 of the configuration process as a sample.

Replace the SYSIPT with this:

//SYSIPT   DD *
        SIGNON DICTIONARY SYSTEM.
        ICTL=(1,72)
        COPY PROGRAMS FROM SYSTEM 99 TO nnn.
        COPY TASKS    FROM SYSTEM 99 TO nnn.
        GENERATE.

Change the nnn to the system number of your IDMS CV. This is what you set GJDCSYS to in VARBLIST, and is also the number displayed after the V in the ENTER NEXT TASK CODE: prompt.

Run the job step and then cycle the CV to bring in the new PROGRAMs and TASKs.
