You should define it ONCE and share the ICF BCS catalog when the VSAM is cataloged. Of course you also have to share the volume on which VSAM component(s) exist. Sharing of the catalog can be done before or after the VSAM is created. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html -- Thanks, Mike -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: How to... define VSAM to 2 lpars
If you go into the IBM z/OS Library, look for the DFSMS bookshelf, and find the manual Using Data Sets, there is a chapter that discusses VSAM sharing in great detail: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2D420/2.7?

Re: How to... define VSAM to 2 lpars
Is the VSAM dataset in a USER Cat that both systems can see? If so, then you just need to make sure your SHROPTs are compatible with mutliple systems view/update it.

Re: How to... define VSAM to 2 lpars
Mike, you can do this in several ways. Question, are you using GRS or something like it? Could be dangerous if not since you could lock-up a system if two tasks get the dataset at the same time on different system. Is the VSAM dataset on user catalog or master catalog. If on master just recatalog the vsam dataset on the second system. You could also connect user catalog on second system, but that would put all high levels on both systems when you define the alias. If it is just for the one VSAM dataset the easy way is to just define the VSAM dataset with recat. Example: DEFINE CLUSTER( - NAME(.CLUSTER) - RCTLG - VOLUMES(XX) - ) - Index (name (.index)) - DATA (NAME (.DATA)) - CATALOG(CATALOG.X) Tim Hawkins State of Arkansas Department of Information Systems One Capital Mall, Little Rock, AR 72203 (501) 682- -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Szyszka Sent: Monday, November 27, 2006 3:56 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: How to... define VSAM to 2 lpars I have a VSAM data set that I need to share with another system (2 lpars, some box) Running z/os 1.5 The VSAM ds is defined to 1 system, I need to define it to the other. -- Thanks, Mike -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
