CA Dynam for VSE User Guide

DYNCAT Commands
CISIZE=
Optional parameter. Specifies the control interval size for the Catalog being
initialized. This value should be chosen to optimize track utilization on the
DASD device where the Catalog will reside. The value must be a whole number
multiple of 1024; valid entries are 1024, 2048, 3072, or 4096.
The default is 1024.
DATASETS=, VOLUMES=, SORTKEYS=
These three operands may be used to override the values found on the
BACKUP tape if it is necessary to reserve additional space for a larger Catalog
than that being restored. As a general rule, however, they should not be
specified since RESTORE REORG was written to be self-optimizing. Valid entry
is a 1- to 6-digit numeric value indicating the number of records of the
specified type expected to be in the Catalog.
ID= Optional parameter. Establishes a Catalog owner. A valid entry is a 1- to 16-
character literal enclosed in apostrophes.
Only in very exceptional circumstances should this specification be
changed after once having been provided.
The default is the specification from the Catalog as backed up.
MERGE
Optional operand. Causes RESTORE REORG to skip the Catalog initialization
phase and simply merge the contents of the input tape into the existing
Catalog as found. May be used to merge two existing CA Dynam Catalogs.
If a MERGE operation is to be done, first a RESTORE REORG of one Catalog
should be done to build the Catalog with its desired characteristics (including
specification of additional index area to accommodate the merged Catalog).
Then the second Catalog should be added to the first through a second
RESTORE REORG using the MERGE operand.
Note: Duplicate data set name entries are not resolved during a MERGE
function. If a data set name on the MERGE tape already exists in the Catalog,
its versions will just be added as the first ones to the dataset in the Catalog.
PASSword= Optional parameter. Specifies the Catalog password. A valid entry is a 1- to 8-
character literal enclosed in apostrophes.
The default is the specification from the Catalog as backed up.
REORG
SHARE=
Optional parameter. Indicates that a reorganizing restore is desired.
Optional parameter. Indicates whether the Catalog is to be shared between
two real or virtual systems. Valid entries are:
YES
Indicates that the Catalog is to be shared.
