Licensed product target volume
The libraries on this volume consist of the licensed product set that you might not have in a system-replacement order and you want to keep separate. The data sets on this volume are not overlaid by a system replacement and the content is decided on by the user. There can be any number of this type of volume on a system.
The recommended types of data sets for this volume are:
- Licensed program target libraries
- SMP/E target CSI
- SMP/E target data sets: SMPLTS, SMPMTS, SMPSTS, SMPSCDS
- User catalog. The SMP/E target CSI should be defined using this catalog. Except for any data sets you choose to catalog in the master catalog, all the licensed program target libraries should also be cataloged in this user catalog, and ALIAS entries should be defined in the master catalog to relate their high-level qualifiers to this user catalog.
Reasons to put these data sets on this volume are:
- To keep data sets that cannot be system-replaced (no longer marketed by IBM®, older product levels, and so forth) on volumes other than TVOL1-TVOLn, so they are not overlaid by a system replacement.
- To keep together licensed programs that have dependencies on each other.
- To facilitate data set sharing between systems and maintain data sets in one place.
