Version: | SMPGEN V21.0A |
Privileges: | STD-PROCESSING (for nonprivileged functions) |
SMPGEN V21.0 runs as of BS2000 V21.0 and requires TSOS privilege (except for the restricted check function).
SMPGEN offers the following functions:
Creation of new SM pubsets from existing SF pubsets
Supplementing existing SM subsets by one or more SF pubsets
Checking the prerequisites for conversion (check function)
The utility routine SMPGEN (System-Managed Pubset GENeration) convert one or more single-feature pubsets (SF pubsets) to a new or an already existing SM pubset. The files, file entries and metadata on the pubset are retained in the process or are transferred to the SM pubset in a valid form.
SMPGEN also provides a check function which systems support can use up front to check whether the specified pubsets satisfy the requirements for successful conversion. This check function can also be called in restricted form for nonprivileged users, albeit only for use under the ID of the caller. In this way, the user is able to obtain information on any preparatory work which he or she must carry out.
The utility routine SMPGEN consists of the nonprivileged subsystem SMPGEN-U (SMPGEN utility) and the privileged subsystem SMPGEN-S (SMPGEN system) which is called internally.
Please refer to the manual entitled “System-Managed Storage” [8 (Related publications)] for a description of the structure of SF and SM pubsets. Details on the important attributes and behavior of SM pubsets and volume sets that are required in order to gain an understanding of SMPGEN can be found in the section “Attributes of SM pubsets and volume sets”.
