Synchronizing the Enhanced Data Integrity Function on Multiple Systems

About this task

The data integrity function protects data sets that are shared within a sysplex if all the systems in the sysplex have the data integrity function active and have the same IFGPSEDI member data. Each system in a sysplex has its own data integrity table.

Perform these steps to set up data integrity processing on multiple systems:

Procedure

Ensure that the data set names in the IFGPSEDI member are identical for each system in the sysplex or that SYS1.PARMLIB is shared among all the systems in the sysplex. _______________________________________________________________
Issue the S IFGEDI command on each system or re-IPL each system to rebuild its data integrity table. Until all systems in the sysplex have rebuilt their data integrity table, data integrity processing might not be in sync. For example, if a data set name is deleted from IFGPSEDI on one system and the data integrity table rebuilt on that system, the other systems can still access that data set until their data integrity tables are rebuilt._______________________________________________________________

Results

Result: You know you have set up data integrity processing on multiple systems when message IEC983I displays on each system.

Enhanced data integrity is not effective for data sets that are shared across multiple sysplexes.
