Copying a TSS Table

ETA provides a utility that can duplicate TSS tables. Using this utility has the same result as performing a TSS table unload and load.

Before you begin

You must have created the TSS data set from which you want to copy a TSS table (the 'source' TSS data set). See Allocating-and-Formatting-a-TSS-Data-Set for instructions.

You must have also defined the TSS table to which you want to copy the TSS table (the 'target' TSS table). This target TSS table must be empty. See Defining-a-TSS-Table for instructions.

Note

If your 'target' TSS table needs a larger argument or result length, you must use the batch job ETA#TSSC provided in ETACNTL.

To Copy a TSS Table

  1. Go to the ETA Translate Sub-System panel. From the ETA Main Menu, type 1 in the Selection field and press Enter. The ETA Translate Sub-System panel is displayed.
  2. Type 8 in the Selection field and press Enter. The Copy TSS Tables pop-up window is displayed.
  3. Specify the name of the TSS table that you want to copy (the 'source' TSS table) and the name of the TSS table to which you want to copy it (the 'target' TSS table) in the appropriate fields.
  4. Specify the name of the TSS data set that contains both the source and target TSS tables.
  5. Press Enter.ETA copies the specified source TSS table to the specified target TSS table and data set.
  6. Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 for other TSS tables as required.
  7. Press F3 until the ETA Main Menu is displayed.

Where to go from here

To implement changes that you have made to the TSS table on an IMS system that uses cache buffering for access to TSS data sets, refresh TSS data in the IMS control region. See Refreshing-TSS-Table-Data-in-an-IMS-Control-Region for instructions.
