Enter the allocation parameters for the control data set, and press Enter.
The following message is displayed, and the MainView Batch Optimizer Objects List panel is displayed. dataSetName is the name of the control data set that you just created.
BMC91452I Now using Control data set dataSetName
The new control data set is now the active one.
Create members for the control data set, as needed.
Because this data set is a new control data set, you need to create the necessary members. For information about creating control data set members, see the appropriate sections in the MainView Batch Optimizer Data Optimizer Reference Manual or the MainView Batch Optimizer Job Optimizer Reference Manual for the member that you want to create.
The dialog saves future changes made to BatchPlex and policy definitions in the specified control data set until you switch to another control data set.

To create control data sets by copying

Create a new control data set by modifying member BSSXCOPY.

BSSXCOPY is found in the installation data set that was created during product installation. This data set contains an INSTALL suffix.

The BSSXCOPY member copies the members that are required for the MainView Batch Optimizer components. These members can be copied from an existing control data set or from the installation data set that was created during the initial product installation.
