Allocating space for CICS Transaction Server disk volumes
Whether or not you use SMS-managed data sets, you still require enough disk space in which to create the CICS® Transaction Server disk volumes.
The space required by the installation jobs on these volumes depends on the type of disk you intend to use. The number of tracks required on the different types of DASD are given in Table 1. The Program Directory describes the size of the CICS Transaction Server distribution and target libraries.

Allow up to 15% on the values in Table 1 for servicing requirements. Secondary allocations are 10% of the primary allocations.
If you intend to store other IBM® software or your own application programs in these libraries, you must modify the generated jobs accordingly.
