Look in the FDR/ABR books for program FDRABRM, which you can use to
produce a model DSCB for ABR's use. The JCL will look something like
this:
// EXEC PGM=FDRABRM
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
ABRINIT CYCLE=cc,GEN=gggg,RETPD=rr,VOL=vvvvvv,STORCLAS=ABRMODEL,
ENABLE=(ARCHIVE,OLDBKUP),FORCE
/*
Don't use these parameters! Choose parameters that match the existing
SMS storage group that you are adding volumes to. To inspect the ABR
model for an existing volume, code:
// EXEC PGM=FDRABRP
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
P VOLSTAT,VOL=vvvvvv
/*
Absolutely correct. Thanks, David. The ABR Model DSCB (called a model
because it occupies zero tracks) is required to run ABR functions on the
volume.
Mike, if your installation has installed the ABR ISPF panels, you can
also do this online. Assuming that A on the main menu gets to the ABR
dialogs,
A.I.8
gets you to the volume management dialog. Enter the volser of an
existing volume in the storage group to display the values used.
then enter an I in the CMD field to get a blank line and enter the
volser of the new volume.
Modify the values on the right of the screen to match those in the
existing volume.
Then enter SUBMIT or EDIT on the command line to generate the batch job
to initialize the new volume for ABR.
Check your backup and/or archive JCL. If you are selecting by storage
group name, it will automaticaly pick up the new volume (after you
update the group from teh ISMF panels). If it is by volser, you may
need to add the volume.
give me a call if you have questions.
