3. Rename the current JOBINDEX data set. 
   
4. Define a new JOBINDEX data set with the desired size.
5. Copy the old JOBINDEX data set to the newly created one using the IDCAMS REPRO command.
6. Restart CA WA ESP subsystems.

Sample JCL to backup the current JOBINDEX data set:

//BACKUP   EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=4096K                       
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSIN    DD   *                                                    
 DEFINE CLUSTER(NAME(hlq.ESP.JOBINDEX.BACKUP) MODEL(hlq.ESP.JOBINDEX))
 REPRO IDS(hlq.ESP.JOBINDEX) ODS(hlq.ESP.JOBINDEX.BACKUP)

Sample JCL to rename the current JOBINDEX data set:  

//RENAME   EXEC PGM=IDCAMS

//SYSIN    DD   *                                            
 ALTER hlq.ESP.JOBINDEX NEWNAME(hlq.old.JOBINDEX)

Sample JCL to define a new JOBINDEX data set:

//CREATE    EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=4096K                                 
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

 DEFINE CLUSTER                      -                     
   (NAME('hlq.ESP.JOBINDEX')     -                      
    KEYS(18,0)                            -

    RECSZ(300 32756)                 -                     
    INDEXED                               -                     
    SHAREOPTIONS(3,3)              -                     
    CYLINDERS(xxx,yyy)              -                     
    FREESPACE(30,30))
