z/OSMF create CSI for new software instance

Products

IDMS

Issue/Introduction

Use z/OSMF Deployments to install the product software and create the product data sets (global, CSI, target libraries, and distribution libraries) for the new software instance. The deployment jobs create a copy of the source product datasets to create the product target runtime environment. Creating a copy of the SMP/E target datasets keeps the SMP/E environment clean and it also isolates the product runtime environment for maintenance activities.
