Allocate a PDSE for the IMS Catalog Builder Utility Output

If you use the IMS Catalog Builder Utility, DFS3LU00, to create database descriptors (DBDs) from the IMS catalog for the IMS system, allocate an extended partitioned data set (PDSE) for the utility output. PowerExchange reads DBD information from the PDSE for source objects when you create data maps.

The data set must have the following DCB characteristics:

Record format (RECFM) of F for fixed-length

Record length (LRECL) of 80

Block size (BLKSIZE) of 80

Also, the data set name must match the PDSE member name specified in the LU00FILE statement in the DBMOVER configuration file.

For example, you could allocate a data set with the following characteristics:

Data Set Name  . . . : USER1.IMS.DFS3LU

                                       Expiration date . . : ***None***

After data maps are successfully created, PowerExchange automatically deletes DBD information from the PDSE. No PDSE maintenance is required.
