Creating catalogs

As of BS2000/OSD V11.0, the catalog is always created in EXTRA-LARGE format. By this, the catalog is enlarged and therefore the capacity relating to the number of file or JV entries is increased considerably.

File catalogs of pubsets from lower BS2000 versions with format NORMAL or LARGE will remain as is only if a shared pubset is imported in slave-mode. On all other cases the catalogs are converted automatically to the EXTRA-LARGE format when importing them via IMPORT-PUBSET.

Catalogs are created generally in EXTRA-LARGE format when SIR with V20.0 or higher is used.

The current catalog format can be queried using the SHOW-PUBSET-CATALOG-ALLOCATION command.
