To make your CSD available to CICS®, you can either include a DD statement in the CICS startup job or use dynamic allocation.
//DFHCSD DD DSN=CICSTS31.CICS.applid.DFHCSD,DISP=SHR
You usually need the CSD DD statement to include DISP=SHR. (See Sharing the CSD in non-RLS mode.)
If you include a DD statement for the CSD in the CICS startup job, the CSD is allocated at the time of CICS job step initiation, and remains allocated for the duration of the CICS job step.
CICS then uses the full data set name (DSNAME) to allocate the CSD as part of OPEN processing. The CSD is automatically deallocated when the last entry associated with it is closed.
For more information about OPEN processing, see Defining user files. For information about the parameters that you can code for the CSD in the SIT, see Specifying CICS system initialization parameters.
The RDO transactions, CEDA, CEDB, and CEDC are defined in the CICS-supplied group, DFHSPI. This group is also included in DFHLIST, the CICS group list. Ensure that a copy of DFHSPI is included in the group list that you use for your CICS startup. You specify the group list on the GRPLIST system initialization parameter.
For information about the CEDA, CEDB, and CEDC transactions, see the CICS Resource Definition Guide.
When you have created a CSD, and initialized it with CICS-supplied definitions, you are ready to move the contents of your CICS tables to the CSD data set. You do this by running the offline utility, DFHCSDUP, using the MIGRATE command to specify the table you want to migrate. For information about the DFHCSDUP utility program and the available commands, see the CICS Operations and Utilities Guide. For information about moving the contents of CICS tables to the CSD, see the CICS Resource Definition Guide.
If you have the Japanese language feature, install the definitions for the feature in the CSD, by running DFHCSDUP and specifying:
UPGRADE USING(DFHRDJPN)
For information about the DFHCSDUP utility program and the available commands, see the CICS Operations and Utilities Guide.
