A.4.5 Updating the Active Configuration

For each update of an ACS routine or construct definition, a procedure of translating and validating the code must be performed by the storage administrator prior to activating the new configuration. This is executed using ISMF, option 7 panels. See DFSMS/MVS V1R4 DFSMSdfp Storage Administration Reference, SC26-4920,for further information on this process.

A.4.6 DB2 Definitions

To allow SMS to control the table space allocation, an appropriate SQL statement must be coded to reflect this in the definition of a DB2 STOGROUP. Figure 100 on page 172 shows the parameter, VOLUMES("*"), used to achieve this for one of the STOGROUPs.

CREATE STOGROUP SGRV1CU0

VOLUMES ("*")
