Creating and Allocating the Setup Data Sets

After transferring the Unicode migration files to the z/OS host, you must generate and allocate the data sets used in the migration process. The following procedure describes how to do this.

This task is a step in Process of Preparing the z/OS Host Environment.

To create and allocate the Unicode migration data sets

1. Log on to the target z/OS host where the Unicode database is to be migrated. Ensure that the Procedure parameter on the logon panel is set to DB2REL8.
2. To create the Unicode migration data sets, navigate to the DSNHLQ.SIEBEL.UNI.JOB0 data set.
3. Go to Edit mode on the data set and modify the job card, if necessary. Submit the job by typing submit on the command line, and pressing Enter.
4. Verify that the job ran successfully (RC is 0) and that it created the DSNHLQ.SIEBEL.UNI.EXEC data set. This data set contains the executable code for the Unicode migration.
5. To allocate the DSNHLQ.SIEBEL.UNI.EXEC REXX exec library, on the ISPF Primary Option menu, select option 6 to go to the TSO command line processor panel.
6. Issue the following command to allocate the CLIST/EXEC library:

   Alloc f(sysexec) da('DSNHLQ.SIEBEL.UNI.EXEC') shr reuse

7. Press Enter. The EXEC library is allocated.

   The CLIST/EXEC DSNHLQ.SIEBEL.UNI.EXEC library is used to execute all REXX execs. The panel and programs are located in this library.

TIP:   The TSO command allocation for the EXEC library must be reissued with each TSO logon. Add this allocation to your personal logon CLIST to avoid having to reallocate the DSNHLQ.SIEBEL.UNI.EXEC library with each new TSO logon.
