Defining the debugging profiles data sets as VSAM RLS files

Define VSAM RLS files when you want to share profiles between several CICS® regions in the same sysplex. CICS provides the following sample definitions:

  1. Copy the sample FILE definitions for DFHDPFMB and DFHDPFMP resource to another group.
  2. Add the DSNAME attribute: Alternatively, you can omit the DSNAME attribute, and include a DD card in the CICS startup JCL. For example:
    //DFHDPFMB DD DSN=CICSTS31.CICS.DFHDPFMB,DISP=SHR
    //DFHDPFMP DD DSN=CICSTS31.CICS.DFHDPFMP,DISP=SHR
  3. Install the FILE definitions.
