Allocate and initialize data sets

In addition to the product libraries created by the steps in the CICS Configuration Manager Program Directory, CICSĀ® Configuration Manager requires other storage data sets. You need to allocate these data sets by editing and submitting JCL supplied in members of the sample library SCCVSAMP. To edit these members, replace the <label> placeholders, described in the comment header of each member, with appropriate values for your system.

Unless specified otherwise, expect return code 0 from these jobs.

  1. Edit and submit:
    CCVXDDD
    Allocates the CICS Configuration Manager repository data set.
  2. Edit and submit:
    CCVXWORK
    Allocates various CICS Configuration Manager work files.

    You should only run this job either:

    • When first installing the product

      or

    • After the CICS region running the CICS Configuration Manager server has successfully shut down

    For details, see Housekeeping: which files should I back up?.

  3. Edit and submit:
    CCVXBTS
    Allocates SOAP business transaction services repository.
