How to Update SARINIT Parameters

Products

• OM View

Issue/Introduction

You want to know if you must include all parameters in a SARINIT job when you only need to change a few specific ones, such as increasing space for a recovery dataset.

Environment

• Product: CA View
• Component: SARINIT

Resolution

You only need to include the parameters you wish to update in your SARINIT job. However, you must always include the NAME statement for the specific View database you are modifying.

To update parameters, follow these steps:

1. Create your SARINIT job using the following structure as a template:
   Review this command before running it.//INIT EXEC PGM=SARINIT //STEPLIB DD DSN=####.CAVIEW.CAILIB,DISP=SHR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * NAME=####.####.VIEWJCRCVPRIM=####RCVSEC=####/*
2. Include the NAME statement with the high-level qualifier (HLQ) of your View database.
3. Add only the specific parameters you intend to change (e.g., RCVPRIM, RCVSEC, or MAXLINES).
4. Run the job. Parameters not included in the SYSIN DD statement remain unchanged.
5. Recycle the task after the job completes to ensure the system picks up the new values.

Be aware that certain parameter changes require a task recycle as specified in the "Activate and Modify" documentation.
