Some folks do create a new master catalog. That's their process. Apparently not yours. > When just adding an SSA to SYS1 gets away from any conflicts, and > still gets in the current master catalog, Then the renames all > work, which really only does the physical names on DASD. Perhaps we have a difference in terminology. If the new data sets are cataloged in your existing master creating, then an "SSA" is not a catalog alias. Its just a unique data set name prefix. > Then Recatalogs indirectly and NEW datasets and I am done. Ah, you didn't mention *indirectly* cataloging previously. z/OSMF can do that too. Once again you just need to tell it you want data sets indirectly cataloged. You do this by specifying the catalog symbol for the volume on the Volumes page in the configuration.
