How to change the default dataset used for analysis output of an RC/Migrator for Db2 for z/OS (RCM) strategy.
Resolution
The RC/Migrator Profile provides an option to specify a default dataset for output analysis.
The option can be accessed by selecting 0 from the RC/Migrator main menu and then 2 - RC/Migrator Profile Variables.
RMPROF1 20.0 ------- RC/M Global Operational Parameters ------ yy/mm/dd hh:mm
COMMAND ===>
STRATEGY LIST PREFETCH ===> Y Y - DB2 access done with previous values.
N - User can change search criteria
before DB2 access takes place.
STRATEGY LIST MODE ===> L L - LIST mode, lists analysis datasets
N - NONLIST mode.
NO SET CURRENT SQLID ===> N Y - No SET CURRENT SQLID statements will
be generated and .AUTH's will be done
to the object's creator.
N - SET statements will be generated.
PARTITIONED DATASET ACCESS ===> N Y - Migrator will read from a partitioned
dataset to build its internal struc-
ture describing the DB2 subsystem.
N - DB2 access will be performed.
UPDATE OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS ===> N Y - View or update analysis output speci-
fications.
See UPDATE OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS above.
Place a 'Y' in the field replacing the 'N' and press enter, the RC/M Global Operational Parameters screen will display. Set the value to a Y and provide a default PDS name:
RMPROF2 20.0 ------- RC/M Global Operational Parameters ------ 22/05/06 01:21
COMMAND ===>
ANALYSIS OUTPUT TO PDS ===> Y (Y,N)
DEFAULT ANALYSIS PDS ===> 'hlq.RCM.PDS'
RECOVERY OUTPUT TO PDS ===> N (Y,N)
DEFAULT RECOVERY PDS ===>
ICL OUTPUT TO PDS ===> N (Y,N)
DEFAULT ICL PDS ===> 'hlq.RCM.ICL'
BATCH JCL OUTPUT PDS ===> N (Y,N)
DEFAULT OUTPUT JCL PDS ===> 'hlq.RCM.BPCODE'
In these dataset fields above , symbolic variables can also be used instead of fixed text such as:
xxxxxx.%FROMSSID..%TOSSID..PDS resolves to xxxxxx.ssid1.ssid2.PDS(DEPT) where ssid1 and ssid2 are the from and to SSID's
or
xxxxxx.D%DATE..T%TIME..PDS resolves to xxxxxx.Dyymmdd.Thhmmsss.PDS(DEPT) where %DATE and %TIME are the analysis date and time.
PF3 out to the main menu.
When this option is specified, the strategy uses the PDS name specified and, the strategy name becomes the default member name created on the partitioned dataset.
NOTE: The member name can easily be changed at analysis time if required.
This can be seen on the STRATEGY ANALYSIS Screen in this section. In this case the Strategy name is DEPT.
OUTPUT DATASET SPECIFICATIONS:
EDIT DATASET ===> N (Yes, No)
DATASET NAME ===> 'hlq.RCM.PDS(xxxx)'
VOLUME SERIAL ===> (If not cataloged)
If it does not currently exist an ALLOCATION SCREEN is displayed to create it at the point where the JCL is to be generated:
---------------- RC/M Output Dataset Allocation---------------- yy/mm/dd hh:mm
COMMAND ===>
NEW ANALYSIS OUTPUT DATASET SPECIFICATIONS
Dataset Name ===> 'hlq.RCM.PDS'
Volume Serial ===>
Unit ===>
Space Units ===> TRK (TRK, CYL)
Primary Quantity ===> 100 (in above units)
Secondary Quantity ===> 10 (in above units)
Directory Blocks ===> 10 (zero (0) for sequential dataset)
Record Format ===> FB (F or FB)
Record length ===> 80
Block Size ===> 8000
Dataset Type ===> PDS (PDS or blank)
When the JCL for a batch job is generated this dataset can be seen in the JCL thus:
//DDLFILE DD DISP=SHR,
// DSN=hlq.RCM.PDS(xxxx)
//PARMFILE DD *
