Actually our naming conventions are Production MVS.prod.*(.lpar) SYSX.prod.*(.lpar) (.lpar) if I need LPAR specific datasets Install/Test MVS.prodVnnn.* SYSX.prodV99.* which is a linklisted copy of a MVS.prodVnnn.* load although I could realistically use SYSX.prod.*.lpar for the sandbox
Assuming the datasets are made large enough I never have to change linklist/lpalist or JCL/PROCs for production and only occasionally JCL/PROCs for testing -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Monday, June 14, 2010 4:56 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] Linklst; 6 of 1/half dozen of the other? >Personally I prefer a unique HLQ for ISV datasets in the mastercat (e.g. SYSX.prodver.*) and non mastercat entries as MVS.prodver.* (for example). I don't like versions in LNKLST datasets. I have no problem with them in maintenance or steplibs. But, regardless of the HLQ, they should not have versioning in the production environment, IMO. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
