2-10 BIM-EPIC Installation and System Guide
BIM-EPIC users with SYNCSORT can enjoy superior performance by utilizing the direct
interface between BIM-EPIC and SYNCSORT. Among the advantages of this interface are:
•
LUB allocation for all standard SORT DTF names
• Secondary allocations for SORTWK files
• Truncation of SORTOUT disk files
• Accurate input file size, allowing better optimization of the sort
•
Dynamic reblocking
•
Device independence
• File concatenation
To invoke this interface, customize the SYNCSORT defaults (using the SYNCMAC Macro)
to include the options shown below. For more information on these options, refer to the
SYNCSORT Installation Guide.
• Specify EPICINT=YES which enables the BIM-EPIC/SYNCSORT interface.
•
When utilizing BIM-EPIC tape support, specify TMS=EPIC to cause SYNCSORT to
allow BIM-EPIC to dynamically assign tape devices.
•
When utilizing BIM-EPIC disk support, specify DMS=EPIC to identify BIM-EPIC as
the installed disk management system.
• Specify OUTRUNC=YES to allow SORTOUT files to be truncated when closed.
•
Specify SECMAX=8 to allow multiple logical unit numbers for secondary SORTWKn
allocations.
• Specify SWKSEC=YES to allow SORTWKn secondary allocations to occur when
needed
• Specify ICONLUN=IGNORE to cause inconsistent logical unit numbers to be ignored
when detected. (For example, an inconsistent logical unit number may occur when
SYNCSORT expects SORTOUT to use SYS001 but BIM-EPIC provides SYS030).
• Specify VSESPRC=CANCEL to cause SYNCSORT to issue a CANCEL SVC (rather
than issuing normal EOJ with a positive return code) when terminating because of a
critical error. This setting is required when either the BIM-EPIC CANMSG or
PURBYP configuration options are set to YES and also to assure that DISP=
parameters are correctly processed.
Finally, set BIM-EPIC special options EPS002 and EPS003 to yes to permit LUB allocation
for all standard SORT DTF names.
BIM-EPIC users with IBM SORT beginning with DFSORT 3.3 can enjoy superior
performance by utilizing the DFSORT File Management System support designed to attempt
interaction with BIM-EPIC. Among the advantages of this support are:
•
LUB allocation for all standard SORT DTF names
•
Secondary allocations for SORTWK files
•
File concatenation
To invoke this support, customize the DFSORT defaults (using the ILUINST Macro) to
include the option shown below. For more information on this option, refer to the
DFSORT/VSE Installation and Tuning .
