Perform this
sequence of tasks to create and run a CICS® VR reorganization job.
Procedure
- Update the RCDS with the most recent information about the VSAM
sphere or spheres that you want to reorganize. Creating groups of VSAM spheres has
more information about registering VSAM spheres.
- Obtain a list of VSAM spheres:
- Select option 1 from the "CICS VR main menu". The "CICS VR VSAM
sphere list include" secondary window opens.
- Either enter search criteria for the list of VSAM spheres, or
enter the name of the data set that contains the list of VSAM spheres. Specifying criteria for the VSAM sphere list explains how to do this.
The "CICS VR VSAM sphere list" panel is displayed, showing
a list of VSAM spheres registered to CICS VR. The spheres in the list either
match the search criteria that you entered or are listed in the data set which
you specified.
- Enter S next to the VSAM sphere that you
want to reorganize. Multiple selection of spheres is not allowed for reorganization.
- Either select the Utilities pull-down menu
and choose the Reorganization option, option 1, or
use the shortcut function key F4 (Reorg). The "CICS VR VSAM
sphere reorganization parameters" secondary window opens.
- Enter the reorganization parameters for the VSAM sphere that is
displayed in the "CICS VR VSAM sphere reorganization parameters" secondary
window. Providing VSAM sphere reorganization parameters explains
how to do this. When you have entered all the necessary
parameters, CICS VR
constructs a reorganization job, and the "CICS VR job submission" secondary window
opens.
- Choose the Save generated JCL option, option
4, to save the reorganization job. The "CICS VR Save JCL" secondary window opens.
Specify the member name for the reorganization job. The
member is saved in the data set that you allocated to the ddname ISPFILE.
- In the "CICS VR job submission" secondary window, choose
the Browse the job option, option 2, if you want to
check the reorganization job that CICS VR has generated. You can
edit the job if necessary.
- In the "CICS VR job submission" secondary window, choose
the Submit the job option, option 1, to run the reorganization
job.
