BUILDSA command for DFSMSdss

Use the BUILDSA command to build the IPL-able core image for the Stand-Alone Services program. With the BUILDSA command you can specify the device (card reader, tape drive, or DASD volume) from which Stand-Alone Services will be IPLed. You can also specify the operator console to be used for Stand-Alone Services.

The BUILDSA function allocates temporary data sets if needed for BUILDSA processing. These data sets are deleted when the BUILDSA operation is complete. System-generated, temporary data set names are used.

The BUILDSA function invokes the linkage editor (or Binder) utility. Specify UTILMSG=YES when you run the BUILDSA function, and keep the output as a debugging reference when you run the Stand-Alone Services program.

The BUILDSA function builds the IPL-able core image under the current operating system, and determines a record size based on whether the IPL is from card, tape, or DASD.

Note:

BUILDSA never allocates a core image data set in the EAS of an EAV.
The core image sequential data set is allocated with an EATTR value of NO. This will result in the data set being allocated in the track-managed region of a volume regardless of whether it is an EAV.
The Stand-Alone Services modules reside in target library SYS1.SADRYLIB after they are installed and accepted by System Modification Program (SMP) or System Modification Program Extended (SMP/E). If you name this data set something other than SYS1.SADRYLIB, then substitute that name for SYS1.SADRYLIB in the examples shown later in this section.
Stand-Alone Services does not support the creation of the core image on an SMS-managed volume.
To ensure that Stand-Alone Services is available when you run from DASD, do not delete the SYS1.ADR.SAIPLD.Vvolser data set or move it to another volume.
If you IPL from DASD and later change the volume serial number, you must rerun the BUILDSA function to create a new core image data set with the new volume serial number in the name.
Consider creating a password or providing other security protection for the SYS1.ADR.SAIPLD.Vvolser data set and for the Stand-Alone Services modules.
If you specify TYPRUN=NORUN with the EXEC statement, the BUILDSA task ends without processing input or output.
