Create/Edit VSAM AIX


The following panel is displayed when you enter the S (Select) line command on a VSAM alternate index in the Target Environment screen. This screen lets you modify the create alternate index information from the extract file to your new target environment.

Create VSAM AIX

Use this screen to update the VSAM alternate index information for the VSAM file and alternate index to be created. After you modify the index information, press END to return to the Target Environment screen.

During the execution phase of the Load function, File-AID/RDX will attempt to create the VSAM alternate index as specified on this screen.

Base cluster

Displays the name of the extracted cluster to be indexed. VSAM requires that the base cluster of an alternate index be defined as non-reusable.

Original AIX Name

Displays the fully qualified name of the extracted VSAM alternate index cluster.

New AIX Component Names

This section provides information about the following parameters:

Cluster

Specify the fully qualified name of the new VSAM alternate index to be created. This field is prefilled with the extracted name.

Data component LLQ

Low level qualifier for the data component. You may overtype this field.

Index component LLQ

Low level qualifier for the index component. You may overtype this field.

Data component

Displays the name of the data component as extracted.

Index component

Displays the name of the index component as extracted.

Warning

Important

If a long cluster name results in data and index component names longer than 44 characters, the cluster name portion in front of the component LLQ is truncated.

Specify SMS Class Information

If you are allocating an SMS file, specify or verify the following SMS allocation class information:

Storage

Specify the SMS storage class to use for the allocation of the file. The storage class describes the hardware requirements of the file.

Data

Specify the SMS data class to use for the allocation of the file. The data class describes the attributes of the file such as RECORG, KEYLEN, KEYOFF, SPACE, etc.

Management

Specify the SMS management class to use for the allocation of the file. The management class describes the migration, backup, and retention for the file.

Warning

Important

Any SMS file allocation problems are indicated with an IDCAMS Error Message Display screen.

Space Allocation

Specify the required storage space for the file components in both the DATA Component and INDEX Component columns. The default values are used when you leave these fields blank. The INDEX component can be specified on a generic unit or volume that is different from the DATA component.

Volume serial

Specify the volume serial of the direct access device that contains the file.

When using SMS and allocating a non-SMS managed file, a Volume serial is required.

Units

Specify one of the following storage unit types depending on how the file size is expressed:

TRK - Tracks
CYL - Cylinders
BLK - Blocks

Primary Qty

Specify the primary allocation quantity as specified in the space units field.

Secondary Qty

Specify the secondary allocation quantity as specified in the space units field.
