You are correct about HFS/ZFS, I mentioned that. Those do get cataloged with the maintenance SYSRES as the second qualifier in the live Mastercat. We have no SMS managed datasets provided by Serverpac(other than HFS/ZFS). CPAC provided datasets get cataloged in the live catalogs with a version/release qualifer. My SMPE targets eventually become the same name as the live datasets, after they get loaded. Hence my comments about removing the requirement for these datasets to be cataloged at all.
This is the process: 1) configure serverpac for end state(including end-state dataset names) 2) modify and run ALLOCDS changing all created datasets to add unique HLQ(want to stop doing this if the requirement to catalog them went away) 3) modify and run RESTORE making the same jobs as above (also stop doing this if the job had VOL=SER references to the datasets created above). 4) rename all above datasets removing unique qualifier I realize I could use the SSA to do this, I'm just not a fan of them, and if the vol=ser references were put into the job, there would be no need for the SSA either. Just a few less jobs to run, and stuff to mess with. I use a cloning procedure that copies the maintenance sysres to one of several "Live" SYSRES volumes that we alternate through. The live dataset are all cataloged indirectly with &SYSR1. ________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Principal Systems Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 616.653.8429 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Zelden Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 4:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Doubt about Server Pac and Catalogs That won't work for HFS/zFS since you can't mount by VOLSER. Also a problem for SMS managed DSNs since they have to be cataloged. When you say no SMP/E targets are cataloged, do you mean they are a different name than the "live" cataloged versions? My SMP/E targets aren't cataloged either in that sense. They have the same name but are referenced via DDDEF with VOLSER. That is why I am able to "throw away" the CPAC master catalog after DSNs have been renamed to remove the SSA (and DDDEFs have been updated via supplied job).
