Define the FDR/UPSTREAM System Data Sets

Important

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of UPSTREAM and plan to use the existing system data sets, you can skip the UPSTREAM DEFINE steps. If you want to re-size any of those data sets, specify the filename of the existing data set at the bottom of the DEFINE screen, and a REPRO step is generated to copy the existing data.

FDR/UPSTREAM - Define Panel

----------------------- FDR/UPSTREAM - Define -----------------------------
COMMAND ===>

Please select the desired file(s) to define, one at a time, then
press the END key (PF3) to generate the define statements.

1 CONFIG    - Define the Configuration file
2 CATALOG   - Define the Catalog cluster
3 FILEINFO  - Define the File-Information cluster

Option 3 (“DEFINE”) from the UPSTREAM Main Menu takes you to a sub-menu (below) where you can define the data sets used by the UPSTREAM system. These data sets include the main configuration data set and the three repository data sets (Chapter 12 “Maintaining the Upstream MVS Database”).

The next steps show how to create each of the three data sets by selecting the appropriate number (1 to 3) from the UPSTREAM DEFINE menu. Each selection takes you to another panel where you specify the parameters to be used for allocating that data set. Only the data sets that you select are defined.

Once you have selected all the desired data sets, Generate the JCL shows you how to generate (and optionally modify) the JCL required to create those data sets.
