Where

vdev is the minidisk you are copying files from. If you are copying from SFS then substitute in the SFS directory name in place of vdev.

dirid is the name of the (target) SFS directory that you are copying files to.

5654A09A%ADSM is the PRODID defined within the 5654A09A PPF file for the Tivoli ADSM for VM minidisk and SFS components.

The VMFCOPY command will update the VMSES

PARTCAT file on the target directory.

C.3 Create Product Parameter File (PPF) Override

This section provides information to help you create a product parameter file (PPF) override. The example used in this section is how to change the shared file system (SFS) file pool where Tivoli ADSM for VM files reside. Refer to the VMSES/E Introduction and Reference for more information on PPF overrides.

Note: Do not modify the product supplied 5654A09A $PPF or 5654A09A PPF files to change the VMSYS file pool name or any other installation parameters. If the 5654A09A $PPF file is serviced, the existing $PPF file will be replaced, and any changes to that file will be lost. By creating your own $PPF override, your updates will be preserved.

The following process describes changing the default file pool name, VMSYS to MYPOOL1:

1 Create a new $PPF override file or edit an existing override file.

xedit overname $PPF fm2

overname is the PPF override file name (such as

 

"myadsm") that you want to use.

 

fm is an appropriate file mode. If you create this

 

file yourself, specify a file mode of A.

 

If you modify an existing override file, specify a file

 

mode of A or D, based on where the file currently

 

resides (A being the file mode of a R/W 191

 

minidisk, or equivalent; D, that of the MAINT 51D

 

minidisk).
