There are REDBOOKs and Manuals if you need more information on how to do some of these activities.
So, some basic questions. Is the new LPAR in a SYSPLEX environment? Will this new LPAR use the exact same Classes as other LPARs? If so, then you should work with your Storage Admins to update the IGDSMSxx member to use the existing SCDS/ACDS and you probably do not need to create a new one. If the LPAR is totally separate from anything else, like a MONPLEX, then you can use DFDSS to DUMP your Model SCDS/ACDS datasets and RESTORE them on the dasd for the new LPAR. Then UPDATE IGDSMSxx to use the new Files. You can then Update using ISMF to switch to the new SCDS/ACDS (work with the storage team) If you are going to use your new SCDS/ACDS then using ISMF you can do TEST/Translate with a PDS(*) and then ACTIVATE. You do not have to do one member at a time. The SCDS/ACDS are VSAM datasets. The file that holds the source is typically a PDS that is then used in the TEST/TRANSLATE/ACTIVATE functions to implement into an SCDS/ACDS, If this does not answer your questions, then please provide some more details. Also, what version of z/OS are you running under?

You would then use ISMF to Translate and then ACTIVATE. The Translate function would place then in the SCDS or ACDS depending on your procedures. The Activate then makes them available. What you see in ISMF is the ACTIVATEd information. So, all you need to do is talk to your storage administrator who should know what process is used to update your SCDS/ACDS VSAM datasets for the classes. Every shop has a unique way of naming the SOURCE PDS dataset names.

To give clear picture, I have copied SCDS from the model LPAR and activated it. They are datasets and can be copied quite easily. What I want is - Can I copy ISPF Class names and their attributes from the Model LPAR. Ex: Highlighted class name attributes. I don't want to define individual class name because it is time consuming. I am exploring options to copy them.
