The allocation attributes of the checkpoint files can be controlled in two ways in the CAPTPARM parameters:
Specifying the data set prefix, space allocation, and volumes using the following parameters:
CHKPT_BASENAME
CHKPT_VOLSERS
CHKPT_PRIM_ALLOC
CHKPT_SCND_ALLOC
Specifying the IDCAMS DEFINE CLUSTER control statements using the CHKPT_FILE_CTL parameter.
The CHKPT_BASENAME parameter is still used to provide the data set prefix for the checkpoint files.
With the exception of CHKPT_BASENAME, the various parameters of the two options are mutually exclusive. This means that you cannot specify the parameters noted in #1 if you specify CHKPT_FILE_CTL. The reverse is also true.
