Setting the FDR global options table


This section describes how to configure the global options table.

New installations

Warning

Important

You want to display each of the option panels that apply to FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE to review and set options appropriately. We suggest that you review the text in the following sections of the manual as you go through this process, but you may also display the help panels for any option panel, with much of the same information.

Existing installations

Warning

Important

You should copy the options and tables from your production version of FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE, but you may wish to review the option panels afterwards to be sure that any new options and options for new components are properly set.

Many options may be changed permanently. Most such options are kept in a load module called FDROPT, in the FDRPAS/FDRMOVE/FDRERASE program library.

There are two ways of modifying these options and tables. The ISPF dialogs may be used to set all options and tables. This is the preferred way, since all options are displayed with online help to describe them. If you have not installed the dialogs or prefer not to use them, the options and tables may be set with program FDRZAPOP, the Global Option Change facility, described in Section 91 in the FDR manual.

Panel A.I – Installation Options Menu

To enter the FDR dialog to display and set options in FDROPT, select option “4” (SETOPT) in the FDR Installation Options Menu, as illustrated in the following figure

Installation Options Menu – Panel A.I:

---------- FDR TOTAL DASD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -- INSTALLATION OPTIONS MENU -----
OPTION ===>
1   DSNAMES - DISPLAY/CHANGE THE DATA SET NAMES OF THE FDR LIBRARIES
2   LOADSAR - LOAD THE STAND-ALONE PROGRAM (SAR) ONTO DISK

4   SETOPT - SET INSTALLATION OPTIONS IN THE FDR GLOBAL OPTIONS TABLE
4A  DYNAM - DISPLAY THE DYNAMICALLY INSTALLED FDR GLOBAL OPTIONS TABLE

5  SETCPK - SET UP THE COMPAKTOR UNMOVABLE TABLE
5A SETREORG - SET UP THE FDRREORG NOREORG LIST

 ABR OPTION INSTALLATION

6  SETLIST - SET UP THE ABR PROTECT LISTS AND RESTORE ALLOCATION LIST
7  ABRCAT - CREATE THE ABR CATALOG
8  ABRVOL - SET ABR DISK VOLUME PROCESSING OPTIONS
9  BLDARC - CREATE THE ARCHIVE CONTROL FILE
10  DIALOG - SET FDR DIALOG GLOBAL OPTIONS
11  ADDISPF - ADD FDR COMMANDS TO AN ISPF COMMAND TABLE

FDR Global Options Table

The FDR Global Options Table (module FDROPT) contains installation options for security features, user exits, control statement defaults, and the rest. Options are organized by option type on the Global Options Primary Menu; each option on this panel takes you to another panel where you may display and modify the actual options. Since FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE are in a separate library from any other FDR products that you are licensed, this procedure modifies only the options used with FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE.

Panel A.I.4 – Set FDR Global Options Primary Menu

The name of the FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE program library used during installation is displayed. If necessary, correct that library name; you can also specify the volume serial of the library if it is not cataloged. These values are saved in your ISPF profile so that you do not need to reenter them in the future. The subsequent panels display the options currently in effect in the FDROPT module in that library, and update that library when the options are saved

Set FDR Global Options Primary Menu – Panel A.I.4

---------- FDR INSTALLATION -- SET FDR GLOBAL OPTIONS PRIMARY MENU -----------
OPTION ===>

1   - SECURITY OPTIONS    8 - MORE ABR GENERAL OPTIONS
2   - GENERAL OPTIONS    9 - ABR REPORT DEFAULTS
3   - COMPAKTOR OPTIONS       10 - MORE ABR REPORT DEFAULTS
4   - ABR GENERAL OPTIONS      11 - OPERATING SYSTEM EXITS
5   - ABR DATA SET NAMES      12 - FDRREORG OPTIONS
6   - ABR ARCHIVE UTILITY DEFAULTS   13 - RESERVED
7   - ABR DISK PROCESSING OPTIONS   14 - FDRPAS & FDRERASE OPTIONS

  SAVE - SAVE OPTION CHANGES      COPY - COPY OPTIONS FROM A PRIOR LEVEL
CANCEL - EXIT WITHOUT SAVING CHANGES   AUDIT - DISPLAY USER CHANGED OPTIONS
REFRESH - REFRESH OPTIONS TABLE IN LPA  RESET - RE-INITIALIZE ALL OPTIONS

FDR PROGRAM LIBRARY DATA SET:
DATA SET NAME ===> 'hlq.FDRLINK'
VOLUME SERIAL ===>

NOTE: TO REFRESH THE OPTIONS THAT ARE DYNAMICALLY INSTALLED IN THE ACTIVE LPA,
IT IS NECESSARY TO RUN FDRSTART - USE THE REFRESH CMD TO GENERATE FDRSTART JCL.

Set option commands

As shown, several special commands are available on this panel:

SAVE - Updates the FDROPT module in the specified program library. No changes are made to the library until “SAVE” is entered, so you may freely switch between option panels and change options until you are satisfied.

CANCEL - Exits to the previous menu and discards all options changed since the last “SAVE” command.

REFRESH - Is not used with FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE.

COPY - Is used to copy options and tables from a previous release of FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE (see next page).

AUDIT - Displays the values and descriptions of all options that are not currently set to the default, that is, an audit of all changed options.

RESET - Resets all options to the default values distributed by BMC Software, Inc.

“SAVE” and “CANCEL” can be used on any of the option panels. Other commands are only valid on this panel. If an option value is changed since the last “SAVE” command and you attempt to exit from this panel, you are prompted to “SAVE” or “CANCEL” the changes before exiting.

New Installations

Warning

Important

We suggest that new installations should display each documented option panel and review the options on them.

Currently the only option panels used with FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE are:

 1 – Security Options

 2 – General Options

 5 – Data Set Name Options

14 – FDRPAS and FDRERASE Options

Existing installations

Warning

Important

The COPY command on the Global Options Panel (A.I.4) is used to copy the option values set in a previous version of FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE by reading the FDROPT module from the previous load library and setting the equivalent options in the new FDROPT.

Error
Important

Do not copy the FDROPT module from a previous version using any standard copy utility (such as IEBCOPY or ISPF COPY); the dialog COPY function copies option values while preserving version information and new defaults in the new FDROPT.

Copy FDR Global Options – Option COPY

---------- FDR INSTALLATION -- COPY FDR GLOBAL OPTIONS -----------------------
COMMAND ===>

WARNING: PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THE COPY TO/FROM DATA SETS NAMES ARE CORRECT.

TO CANCEL THE COPY OPERATION, EITHER PRESS THE END KEY (PF3) OR TYPE "CANCEL".

COPY "TO" DATA SET: 'hlq.FDRLINK'

COPY "FROM" FDR PROGRAM LIBRARY DATA SET:
DATA SET NAME ===> 'hlq.oldpas.load'
VOLUME SERIAL ===>

IN ADDITION, COPY THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS MODULES:

ALLOCATE - ABR RESTORE ALLOCATION LIST... ===> NO (YES NO)
ARCPROT  - ABR ARCHIVE PROTECT LIST...... ===> NO (YES NO)
ABRPROT  - ABR BACKUP PROTECT LIST......  ===> NO (YES NO)
RESTPROT - ABR RESTORE PROTECT LIST...... ===> NO (YES NO)
SCRPROT  - ABR SCRATCH PROTECT LIST...... ===> NO (YES NO)
CPKUNMOV - COMPAKTOR UNMOVABLE TABLE..... ===> NO (YES NO)
FDRNORG  - FDRREORG NOREORG LIST......... ===> NO (YES NO)

Enter the data set name (and optional volume serial) of the FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE program library containing the previous version. Only those options that are not set to the default in effect for that version are copied; this way, if the default for an option is changed in the new version, the new default is not overridden with the old default. The option values copied are immediately saved in the “to” program library; no SAVE command is required.

The options modules listed at the bottom of the screen are not used with FDRPAS or FDRERASE. The CPKUNMOV options module IS used with FDRMOVE.

FDRMOVE uses the COMPAKTOR Unmovable Table (CPKUNMOV) to identify data sets that should be excluded from the FDRMOVE operation. See Unmovable Table for the use of this table by FDRMOVE and how to update the entries in this table. If you have FDRMOVE from a previous version, you should change the CPKUNMOV value to “YES”.
