IBM WAVV 2004 Chapter2: VSE Settings to redirect a VSAM cluster

To redirect requests for the:

• VSAM cluster: FLIGHT.ORDERING.ORDERS.TEAMxx

• in VSAM catalog: VSESP.USER.CATALOG

We have to setup the Configuration phase (IESRDCFG.PHASE).

In this phase we have to define which VSAM cluster should be redirected to which

remote location, and eventually filter which requests.

For that a skeleton in ICCF Library 59 is shipped, called SKRDCFG

It was copied to your primary library.

The definitions for the redirected file were extracted into member RDCFGxx

were xx is your team ID

This was done to be able to build at the end one phase with the settings from all

attendees.

Edit skeleton RDCFGxx:

Change the sample entry in the configuration as shown below.

Enter CASE M in the command line to switch to mixed case mode before editing.

IESRDENT CATALOG='VSESP.USER.CATALOG’, X

CLUSTER=‘FLIGHT.ORDERING.ORDERS.TEAMxx', X

EXIT='IESREDIR', X

OWNER=VSAM, X

IP='<ip-addr>', X

HANDLER='com.ibm.vse.htmlhandler.HtmlHandler', X

OPTIONS=‘’

The most important parameter is OWNER:

OWNER=VSAM means the READ requests will be done from the VSAM cluster

and the INSERTS will be done to VSAM and to the remote site specified in IP.

That means a synchronization takes place.

OWNER=REDIRECTOR means all requests are redirected to the remote site.
