VSAM Demystified

6.6. Our experiences with implementation

You must have VSAM RLS already set up before you can implement TVS. For details about setting up VSAM RLS, refer to “Implementing VSAM RLS” on page 253.

Once RLS is set up, you would already have defined the necessary lock and cache structures in the coupling facility. Now you need to go through the following steps to implement TVS.

• Define list structures in the coupling facility

• Define the log streams in the coupling facility

• Define DASD staging data sets

• Set up the security definitions

• Define the SMS classes

• Modify SYS1..PARMLIB(IGDSMSxx)

The rest of this section describes each of these steps.
