Yes, after all is said and done, I will run an examine to make sure
everything is ok...
I don't have a "product", so I do this with IDCAMS. I have never
had a problem.
You should check Managing catalogs
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/dgt2c160.pdf.
If you want to re-org the catalog do something like this
(note this is from memory, you should verify this):
//CATREORG JOB
//*
//REORG EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//*
//OUT DD DSN=unload.name,
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
ALTER CATALOG.catname LOCK
/* */
IF MAXCC = 0 THEN +
EXPORT catname -
OUTFILE(OUT) -
TEMPORARY
/* */
IF MAXCC = 0 THEN +
IMPORT INFILE(OUT) -
OUTDATASET(catname) -
ALIAS -
CATALOG(mstcat)
/* */
IF MAXCC = 0 THEN +
ALTER CATALOG.catname UNLOCK
If you want to make the catalog bigger, you need to delete
reallocate it in the middle ot this.
1. ALTER catdsname LOCK
2. EXPORT catdsname OUTFILE(EXPDD) TEMPORARY
3. DELETE catdsname RECOVERY USERCATALOG
4. DEFINE USERCATALOG (many parameters)
5. IMPORT INDATASET(backupdsn) OUTDATASET(catdsname) ALIAS UNLOCK
INTOEMPTY
WARNING PRIVLEDGED TASK CAN BYPASS LOCK
You may want to review IBM info APAR II13354 on moving catalogs.
I forgot to mention that you should use diagnose and examine
on the old catalog before you start to make sure there are
no existing problems.
