Implementing size increases when insufficient space was allocated

The following steps outline the procedure for implementing size increases when an insufficient amount of space was originally allocated:

  1. To de-allocate the files, bring down the Control-O or CMEM monitor.
  2. If more coupling facility space is required, update the CFRM policy and IOAPLEX definitions accordingly, and activate the CFRM policy. For an example of how to execute this process, see ICE steps 7.8 and 7.10. If additional coupling facility space is not required, skip this step.
  3. If more disk space is required continue with the next step. Else continue with step 11.
  4. Back up your IOA Variable databases.
  5. Unload the databases to flat files. To do so, submit jobs IOADBSUL, IOACOLUL, and IOAVARUL from the IOAprefix.JCL library. This creates three sequential files named IOAprefix.FLAT.DBSD, IOAprefix.FLAT.COLD, and IOAprefix.FLAT.VARD respectively.
  6. Rename the IOA Access Method files
  7. Format the databases using jobs IOADBSBF, IOACOLBF, and IOAVARBF from ICE customization, with the newly calculated size.
  8. Load the databases from the flat files using jobs IOADBSLD, IOACOLLD, and IOAVARLD from the IOAprefix.JCL library.
  9. Build the indexes with jobs IOADBSBI, IOACOLBI, and IOAVARBI from the IOAprefix.JCL library.
  10. Enter Screen IV from the IOA Main Menu, and verify that the databases contain the same data as before.
  11. Bring up the Control-O or the CMEM monitors
