Allocating the target data sets

Before you begin

You must start the Customization Dialog and select your desired task option.

Why and when to perform this task

This section tells you how to complete the Allocate target data sets option that is in all of the main tasks you can perform. Complete this step if you didn't specify an HLQ (high-level qualifier for the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS installation data sets) when you first started the Customization Dialog or if you want to change it.

Steps for this task

  1. On the main Dialog panel, type the appropriate number in the Option field to select "Allocate target data sets".
  2. Press Enter.
    Result: You see a panel that looks similar to the following:
    -----------------     WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Customization      ------------------
    Option  ===>                                                                  
                                                                                  
     Allocate Target Data Sets                                                    
                                                                                  
     Specify a high level qualifier (HLQ) and press Enter to allocate the         
     data sets to contain the generated jobs and instructions. You can            
     specify multiple qualifiers (up to 39 characters).                           
                                                                                  
     High level qualifier:                                         .CNTL          
                                                                   .DATA          
                                                                                  
     The Dialog will display data set allocation panels. You can make             
     changes to the default allocations, however you should not change            
     the DCB characteristics of the data sets.                                    
                                                                                  
        .CNTL  - a PDS with fixed block 80-byte records to                        
                 contain customization jobs.                                      
                                                                                  
        .DATA  - a PDS with variable length data to contain                       
                 other data produced by the Customization Dialog.                 
  3. Follow the options in order and enter information from the Allocate Target Data Sets worksheet, then press Enter.

Results

You are done when the data set allocation succeeds.
