Issue/Introduction

This article explains how to increase the size of the HIS770 data set in case the maximum number of extents (16)  for a Datacom EXCP data set are taken on the volume.

Environment

Product: CA 7 

Resolution

CA 7 delivers sample JCL in library CAL2JCL member AL2DCC40 to help resize any of the database data areas that require a larger allocation.

For example:

To increase the size of the HIS770 dataset :

1. run CAL2JCL(AL2DBKUP) 
2. rename the current HIS770 data set to dsn.old
3. allocate a larger HIS770 data set with the same data set name (dsn) with larger PRIMARY and SECONDARY allocations
4. next look at CAL2JCL(AL2DLOAD) and  add INIT AREA=HIS,DBID=770  after INIT AREA=IXX,DBID=770  in step LOAD
5. run this modified AL2DLOAD job
6. if all is fine then delete dsn.old

Once done, run a DBUTLTY CXX report to see the new allocation.

Run a DBUTLTY job with SYSIN cards:

COMM OPTION=STATS,DBID=770 

REPORT AREA=CXX,DBID=770,TYPE=A
