Repository

Your HDB environment is controlled by the Repository. The Repository is a VSAM KSDS that acts as a repository for all definitions associated with your HDB environment:

The Repository is also a repository for the following definitions that are not associated with HDBs:

On the Historical Database Menu, specify the Repository data set name. If the Repository data set is not cataloged, the dialog will prompt you to define it when you select an option from the menu.

Specify the required allocation settings and then press Enter to define the Repository data set.

The allocation settings are:
Edit IDCAMS command
Select this option to edit the IDCAMS command that CICS PA generates to define the Repository. If this option is not selected, the IDCAMS command is issued immediately.
Browse errors only
Select this option to browse the output from IDCAMS only when a non-zero return code is returned by IDCAMS. If this option is not selected, the output from IDCAMS will always be presented.
Repository Name
Specify the name of the Repository data set to be defined.

Normal ISPF data set conventions apply. Enclose a fully qualified data set name in quotes, otherwise the TSO prefix is used as a high level qualifier.

Cluster Level Information
Space Units
Select one of the following in which to express the data set size:
  1. cylinders
  2. tracks
  3. records
  4. kilobytes
  5. megabytes
Space Quantities
Specify the Primary and Secondary allocation quantities in cylinders, tracks, records, kilobytes or megabytes as indicated in the Space Units field. Express all quantities in decimal, not hexadecimal.

Typically a space allocation of 1 primary and 1 secondary cylinder is sufficient.

Volume
The volume serial name of the DASD volume to contain the data set.
Data Class
Specify the name of the data class for the data set. The data class provides the allocation attributes for the data set. The storage administrator at your installation defines the data class. However, you can override the parameters defined for a data class by explicitly specifying other attributes.
Management Class
For an SMS-managed data set, specify the name of the management class for a new data set. The storage administrator at your installation defines the names of the management classes you can specify.

If management class is not specified, but storage class is specified or defaulted, management class is derived from automatic class selection (ACS).

If management class is specified and storage class is not specified or derived, the DEFINE will fail. Note that if SMS is inactive and management class is specified, the DEFINE will fail.

Storage Class
For an SMS-managed data set, specify the name of the storage class. The storage class replaces the storage attributes that are specified on the UNIT and VOLUME operand for non-SMS-managed data set. Use the storage class to specify the storage service level to be used by SMS for storage of the data set. The storage administrator at your installation defines the names of the storage classes you can specify. A storage class is assigned when either you specify a storage class, or an ACS routine selects a storage class for the new data set. Note that if SMS is inactive and storage class is specified, the DEFINE will fail.

When the repository is defined, you are ready to start using HDB.
