Expanding the IOA Condition File

The procedure for expanding the IOA Condition file (CND) described below is an integral part of ICE, ensuring that the procedure can be performed efficiently and expediently.

The expansion process performs the following operations:

• checks availability of the CND, ALTCND, and CNDJNL datasets involved in the process
• changes the necessary parameters through the data entry steps
• saves the parameters in the product libraries
• submits the EXPNDCND expansion job

  EXPNDCND performs the following:

  1. renames the existing files by adding the .OLD qualifier
  2. allocates files with new space parameters
  3. copies information from the .OLD files to the new files

To expand the IOA Condition file (CND), perform the following steps in ICE

1. Select Customization.
2. Select the environment that you need to customize.
3. Enter IOA in the Product field.
4. Select Product Customization.
5. Select major step 22, "Expanding IOA Condition File."
6. Perform minor step 1, "Stop all monitors and IOA activities."
7. Select minor step 2, "Specify CND parameters."
8. Select minor step 3, "Expand Condition File (CND)", either by marking the step with a "J" (to run the job automatically), or with an "S" (to run the job manually). Verify that the EXPNDCND job is marked COMPLETE (if it was run automatically using the J option) or that it ended with a completion code of 0 or 4 (if it was run manually using the S option).

   WARNING: If the EXPANDCND job ends with a JCL error, the job must be re-submitted. However, to avoid loss of data, correct the cause of the error before re-submitting the job.

9. Perform minor step 4, "Activate all monitors."
