Resolution

1. DELETE AIX file ==> this will delete the PATH entry also  see AIX and the other VSAM companion files are being used by TSS STC, 

Is it possible to delete the AIX file when TSS is up and running?

Answer: TSS should not be up when deleting the AIX. 

2. DEFINE AIX and PATH (second step of VSAMDEF3) 

Answer: Please remember that TSS BDAM file and VSAM file are a married pair. 

You just can't initialize a new VSAM file. You need to do them both. Then do an TSSXTEND to copy the old to the new. 

If  using the same dsn names for the BDAM and VSAM file, TSS must not be up when deletes, re initializes and TSSXTENDS happen. 

If  using different dsn names,  can initialize them while TSS is up. 

Then when ready, update the TSS procs with the new dataset names and recycle TSS.

3.  Do not see a BLDINDEX process in that step. Is BLDINDEX not needed for this process? 

Answer: The BLDINDEX is step 2 in the TSSMAINS JCL and not in VSAMDEF3.
