How to enlarge CA 7 BROWSE Dataset?

Environment

WA CA 7 Edition

Resolution

Steps on how to allocate a larger CA 7 Browse Dataset:

1.  Allocate a new and larger browse dataset  (eg test.ca7.browse.new)
2.  No need to format the new browse dataset.
3.  Stop CA 7.
4.  Copy the current browse dataset into the .new dataset above.
5.  Rename my current browse dataset to .OLD (test.ca7.browse to test.ca7.browse.old) and the new dataset to current dataset name.
       (test.ca7.browse.new to test.ca7.browse)
6.  Restart CA 7 with ERST.


If you copy the current Browse dataset to the new one, no other formatting should be needed. If you want to create a new empty Browse dataset, then the format step needs to be done. See your CA 7 installed job CA07N030, writes a dummy record to it as shown below...
