Activating the Compressed Dataset Access Method

The Compressed Dataset Access Method (CDAM) must operate 24 hours a day, because CDAM is used both by the Control‑D monitor and by jobs within the system to read, write and view compressed reports. For information about how a job can invoke the Compressed Dataset Access Method, see the CDAM chapter in the Control-D and Control-V User Guide.

Usually, CDAM is automatically initialized as part of the IPL process. To activate the Compressed Dataset Access Method manually, issue operator command

S IOASINIT,OPTIONS=D

If CDAM is successfully initialized, the following operator message is displayed on the operator console:

CTM227I IOA SUBSYSTEM "subsystem‑name" INITIALIZATION OF Control‑D FUNCTIONS COMPLETED
