DBUSS Data Set Name _______________________________________To specify the PDX option
The PDX is an optional data set that some database products for IMS can use to store DBD-level options, execution history, and statistics that are gathered during execution. For more information about the PDX, see the IMS Database Supplemental Utilities Reference Manual.
If you want to use a PDX data set, provide the information that the Installation System needs for generating JCL to allocate and format the PDX. You can use the same PDX data set for all products that use a PDX. If you have a previously allocated PDX that you want to share among the products, do not specify PDX information within the Installation System. If you are using a PDX in a multiple-CPU environment, see the chapter about configuring backup and recovery products in the Database Products for IMS Customization Guide.
- In the Use a PDX Data Set field, specify one of the following values:
Y if you want to use a PDX data set
N if you do not want to use a PDX data set
- In the PDX Data Set Name field, specify the name of the PDX data set.
- In the PDX VOLSER field, specify the VOLSER to use to allocate the PDX data set.
- In the PDX Allocation field, specify the size of the PDX data set in cylinders.
- In the PDX Unit Name field, specify the unit name to use for the PDX data set allocation.
To specify the DBRC option
The DBRC feature of IMS is required for the Online Reorg function and the Online/Defrag function. DBRC must be active and all databases must be registered.
The DBRC feature is also required for the Recovery Manager functions and utilities. All databases to be managed by the RECOVERY MANAGER for IMS product must be registered to DBRC. All image copies, logs, and change accumulations must also be included in the operating system ICF catalog. The RECOVERY MANAGER for IMS functions and utilities do not support the use of DEFLTJCL.
DBRC is supported but not required for all other functions and utilities of the database products for IMS. BMC recommends using DBRC.
Y if you want to use DBRC for the IVP
N if you do not want to use DBRC for the IVP
To specify the global options modules option
Y if you want to copy your existing global options modules to the new libraries
N if you do not want to copy your existing global options modules to the new libraries
To specify the DBUSS option
The DBUSS can be used with many database products for IMS to obtain several services, including APF-authorization and fast I/O services for some products. The DBUSS is never required, but it is recommended depending on the products that you are installing.
Important
If you want to use the DBUSS for APF-authorization or other purposes, review the information about the DBUSS, APF-authorization, and the products that can obtain authorization through the DBUSS in the Database Products for IMS Customization Guide.
