PQ65698: THIS APAR WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL IVP SUPPORT BY INCLUDING A BATCH JOBSTREAM CREATING AN IMS FF DATABASE WITH DFSDDLT0

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• We will be providing additional IVP support by including a BATCH
  jobstream which will create a IMS Full Function database via
  DFSDDLT0. We will then build a dictionary from it and create a
  compression routine with which to compress it with and then
  uncompress it and compare the resulting database against a copy
  of the original created database before compression was done.

  THIS BATCH IVP WILL CREATE A FULL FUNCTION DATABASE, UNLOAD IT,
  CREATE AND BUILD A CUSTOMIZED COMPRESSION DICTIONARY, AND BUILD
  A COMPRESSION ROUTINE WITH IT, RELOAD THE DATABASE USING THE

Temporary fix

Comments

• ===============================================================
  ADD THE FOLLOWING UPDATE TO THE USER'S GUIDE, SC27-1005-02, FOR
  VERSION 2 RELEASE 2 AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE 16, FOR SECTION TITLE
  VERIFYING INSTALLATION (IVP).
  
  BATCH JOBSTREAM INSTALLATION VERIFICATION PROCEDURE (IVP).
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  THE IMS HARDWARE DATA COMPRESSION EXTENDED PRODUCT REQUIRES A
  COHESIVE, OPERATIONAL IMS SYSTEM TO BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL. IF
  SUCH A SYSTEM IS NOT AVAILABLE TO THE PRODUCT INSTALLER AND
  INITIAL TESTER, THE IBM-SUPPLIED BATCH IVP JOB CAN BE RUN
  TO CREATE AN IMS FULL FUNCTION DATABASE WITH WHICH TO CREATE
  A DICTIONARY AND COMPRESSION ROUTINE TO VALIDATE THE PRODUCT
  INSTALLATION. THE BATCH IVP JOBSTREAM, HCOIVPBA, CAN BE FOUND
  IN THE SMP/E SHCOSLIB DATA SET.
  
  INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUSTOMIZING THIS JOBSTREAM TO THE STANDARDS OF
  YOUR FACILITY ARE INCLUDED IN COMMENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
  JOBSTREAM.
  
  THE FULL FUNCTION DATABASE, IT'S DBD, AND OUTPUT DATASETS FROM
  THE VARIOUS UNLOAD STEPS (STEP15 AND STEP17) CAN ALSO BE
  USED WITH THE ISPF DIALOG FOR FURTHER PRODUCT FAMILIARITY.
