Milestone 13: Load Initial Reference Data
In this milestone, you will load the initial metadata required for the SITE Application, which is used to customize ISPW for your installation.
If you are performing an upgrade (and keeping the existing SITE datasets), skip ahead to Milestone 14: Configure Topaz Workbench Integration.
Task 13.1 Navigate to the Reference Data Update Menu
To load the initial data, go to the ISPW Main Menu and enter option M.R. The screen shown in the following figure will be displayed showing the initial data as implemented in the install jobs. If this is not shown, the Db2 Repository Install has not completed successfully.Reference Data Maintenance Screen
Enter “Update” mode by typing U on the Command line and pressing Enter. The options at the top of the screen will change to include all the Update Operations, as shown in the following figure.

Task 13.2 Import Sample Component Type Data
Sample Data needs to be loaded for Reference Codes CT, BC, CC, ST, ER, EX, EC, and AD.
Type an I (Import) next to CT and press Enter. The screen in the following figure will be displayed, except the Version Description and Import Dataset Name will not be filled in yet.Import CT Reference Data Screen
- Type the Version Description as shown above.
- Type your BPWMSAMP library name with member REF#CT, as shown above.
Press Enter. After the import has successfully been completed, the screen shown in the following figure is displayed.Reference Data Maintenance Screen - CT Import Complete
- Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 above for each of the members listed in the following table, by typing an I next to the respective code and pressing Enter. Make sure the PDS member is correct for each one, as listed in the following table. After the imports, the screen shown in Reference Data Maintenance Screen - All Imports Complete is displayed.

Task 13.3 Activate the Newly Loaded Data
Each of the newly loaded reference data types needs to be activated. This indicates to ISPW that this data is to become the currently used data. The order in which they are activated is important because the data is referentially validated. Activate them as follows:
- Type an A (Activate) next to each version just loaded, in the following order:
- CC
- BC
- CT
- ST
- AD
- EX
- ER
- EC WZGPARMS
- EC WZGWORK
After they have been activated, the screen will be displayed as shown in the following figure.

Task 13.4 Refresh the Server
The ISPW Server now needs to be “refreshed”. This will cause the Server to load the active data into its cache. Refresh the Server as follows:
Enter =M.SM on the ISPW Command line. The Server Control screen is displayed.Server Control Refresh Screen
- Type R (REFRESH) in the COMMAND field and press Enter to refresh the server with the loaded Reference Data.
