Question:
CA DATACOM/DB installation job DCM3CSI has numerous SMP/E DDDEFs for external datasets such as:
ADD DDDEF(CAVQLOAD)
ADD DDDEF(CAW0LINK)
ADD DDDEF(SDFHLOAD)
Do these DDDEFs need to be defined with real dataset names for the SMP/E APPLY?
Will they be updated by the APPLY operation?
Answer:
The 3 files are required during the SMP/E APPLY so you do need to specify a real dataset name for these.
The files are not updated but we include modules from them during some of the linkedits during the APPLY.
SDFHLOAD is the IBM CICS/TS target load library.
CAW0LINK is the CA Common Services CAICICS target load library.
CAVQLOAD is the CA IPC target load library.
