zwe init vsam [parameter [parameter]...]

Description

This command will run ZWECSVSM JCL to create VSAM data set for Zowe APIML Caching Service.

These Zowe YAML configurations showing with sample values are used:

zowe:
setup:
jcl:
header: "123456"
dataset:
prefix: IBMUSER.ZWE
jcllib: IBMUSER.ZWE.CUST.JCLLIB
vsam:
mode: NONRLS
volume: VOL123
storageClass:
name: IBMUSER.ZWE.CUST.CACHE2
components:
caching-service:
storage:
mode: VSAM
vsam:
name:
  • zowe.setup.jcl.header is optional additional JCL fields used for submitting JCLs.
  • zowe.setup.dataset.prefix shows where the SZWESAMP data set is installed.
  • zowe.setup.dataset.jcllib is the custom JCL library. Zowe server command may generate sample JCLs and put into this data set.
  • zowe.setup.vsam.mode indicates whether the VSAM will utilize Record Level Sharing (RLS) services or not. Valid value is RLS or NONRLS.
  • zowe.setup.vsam.volume indicates the name of volume. This field is required if VSAM mode is NONRLS.
  • zowe.setup.vsam.storageClass indicates the name of RLS storage class. This field is required if VSAM mode is RLS.
  • zowe.setup.vsam.name defines the VSAM data set name.
  • components.caching-service.storage.mode indicates what storage Zowe Caching Service will be used. Only if this value is VSAM, this command will try to create VSAM data set.
  • components.caching-service.storage.vsam.name defines the VSAM data set name. This field is required for shell based zwe init vsam command. Otherwise this field can be omitted and automatically updated with parameter --update-config.

Examples

zwe init vsam -v -c /path/to/zowe.yaml
zwe init vsam -v -c /path/to/zowe.yaml --generate

Parameters
