(Optional) steps for enabling existing data sets for VSAM RLS

To run PKI Services in parallel, the UNIX programmer must specify SharedPLEX=T in the pkiserv.conf configuration file. (See the SharedPLEX=T row in Table 1.) The MVS™ programmer enables the sysplex to access the VSAM data sets.

Before you begin

You need to have performed the steps described in (Optional) preliminary steps for establishing VSAM RLS.

Procedure

Perform the following steps to enable your existing PKI Services data sets for VSAM record-level sharing (RLS).

Copy the sample reallocation JCL in SYS1.SAMPLIB(IKYRVSAM) to your JCL data set.
Attention: Do not run IKYCVSAM by mistake because this JCL will destroy your existing VSAM data sets.

_______________________________________________________________
Update your data set, following the instructions in the prolog of the sample JCL:
1. Change the JOB card.
2. Change the STORCLAS statements.
  Note: Before submitting this job, check your access control service (ACS) routines for naming convention definitions that will be used to create the VSAM RLS data sets.
3. Rename the source data sets to the names of your existing object store and ICL data sets.
4. Change the destination data set names.
  Note: Remember to give the UNIX programmer the data set names so the UNIX programmer can make equivalent changes in the pkiserv.conf file. See (Optional) Steps for updating the configuration file.
5. Update the primary and secondary extent allocations based on your anticipated future needs. (See Planning VSAM storage requirements for guidelines on determining the space you will need.) These are the default allocations for each type of data set:
  Base cluster
  
  CYL(3,1)
  
  Alternate indexes
  
  TRK(5,1)
  
  Guideline: Do not change any numeric values, other than the primary and secondary space allocation values for the base cluster and alternate index data sets.

Submit the job when your changes are complete.
