Batch JCL to define/install /FCT entries of VSAM files

Hello Freinds,

I need to define around 60 fines in CICS region . I know this can be done by tirgeering CEDA but need to know if there are any batch JCL which can be used.

Any sample JCL will be a help.

Thanks

I suggest that you do what you should have already done before posting - Google. Specifying BATCH CEDA I got a hit for sample JCL in 10 seconds.

Find the CICS Resource Definition Guide manual for your release of CICS and read the chapter titled The resource defintiion batch utility DFHCSDUP to find out about batch definition of resources. Note that you will need to discuss this with your site support group as many sites do not allow application programmers to use DFHCSDUP.

IBM Utility "DFHCSDUP" can be used, except, it can't perform a CEDA INSTALL.

For INSTALL's, you'll need to write a User Server Program, which issues a CICS LINK API to "DFHEDAP", passing a 20-byte commarea, consisting of five 31-Bit addresses.

Normally, this interface would consist of an EXCI (Batch) User Client Program issuing a DPL to the User Server Program in the target region.

If you need to perform INSTALL's and you can't wait until region-recycle, then you'll need "DFHEDAP" or issue an INSTALL using CEDA.

You may want to search IBMMAINFRAMES for "DFHEDAP" or Google.

HTH....

If you want your batch definitions to be available to that CICS region, you MUST use the given DFHCSD file. You cannot substitute your own file unless you go through your site support group and they change the start up JCL or SIT to match. Note that the DFHCSD file is a VSAM file, so the defintiions you are giving are going to be added to the file and not replace anything (unless you are changing a definition that already exists).
