Initializing system migration

About this task

Note: You must initialize the system migration facility only if you plan to migrate application group index data from the database to archive storage.

After you have successfully created the Content Manager OnDemand system tables, you can run the ARSSYSCR program to initialize the Content Manager OnDemand system migration component:

Procedure

To run the ARSSYSCR program, do the following steps:

  1. Move to the Content Manager OnDemand executable directory. For example: cd /usr/lpp/ars/V9R5M0/bin
  2. Run the ARSSYSCR program. For example: arssyscr –m. If you change the default instance from ARCHIVE to another value, specify the instance on the ARSSYSCR command. Otherwise, you might receive the following error: arssyscr unable to determine database engine. The ARSSYSCR program will generate the following series of messages:
    arssyscr:       Updating ARSSERVR.ARSSYS                                     
    arssyscr:       Adding to ARSSERVR.ARSAG with Storage Set Id = 0

    arssyscr:       Adding to ARSSERVR.ARSFOLPERMS                               
    arssyscr:       Adding to ARSSERVR.ARSFOLFLD                                 
    arssyscr:       Adding to ARSSERVR.ARSFOLFLDUSR                              
    arssyscr:       Creation of System Migration information was successful

Results

If you encounter SQL errors after you perform this configuration step, check for the existence of the MVSATTACHTYPE parameter in the cli.ini file. The MVSATTACHTYPE=RRSAF parameter value is not supported by Content Manager OnDemand. Only the CAF option is allowed. Modify MVSATTACHTYPE from RRSAF to CAF, or remove the MVSATTACHTYPE parameter because CAF is the default.
