Does anyone know of program/routine that does mass volume inits. I've heard the term VINIT/AINIT used. I believe it automated the process of selecting the volumes, varying the devices offline/online, initializing them, as well as defining the VVDS. Anyone heard/have such a routine or know where I can get it?
You don't have to offline the device before init. That require slightly different command parameters.
Regarding mass change - IMHO it is not an issue of "wizard", because you have to provide a list of device numbers. It need not to be consecutive. More: the devices may have various size, which could mean different VTOC/VTOCIX/VVDS sizing.
Of course, for many repeating mass actions one may want to create simple REXX script: read a record containing dev num and size, generate offline MVS command (and ONLINE as well), generate INIT ICKDSF command, generate "DEF VVDS" IDCAMS command.
Then submit four jobs. For single action - ISPF Editor is IMHO enough.
