BIM-EPIC Dataset Definition–Disks
Description BIM-EPIC dataset definitions (EDD) for disks consist of several
components. The following sections provide an overview of each
component.
CISIZE CISIZE specifies a CISIZE for FBA devices and forces the dataset to be
written to maximize the number of records written to a control interval.
Use CISIZE instead of block size for datasets written on FBA devices.
CISIZE and block size are mutually exclusive. You can specify only one
of these in an EDD.
Disk Pool Name Use a disk pool name to assign disk datasets to a disk pool. Disk pools are
referenced by a six-character pool name which can be a real volume serial
number or an assigned name. The systems programmer creates disk pools.
The systems programmer can also create CPU or partition-independent
disk pools:
To specify CPU disk pools, use three dashes at the end of the disk
pool name, for example, POL - - -.
To specify partition-independent disk pools, use two dashes at the
end of the disk pool name, for example, POOL - -.
If you do not assign a disk pool and a default disk pool has been specified
by the DEFPOL configuration option, the dataset will be assigned to the
default disk pool.
Primary Extent
Size
The primary extent size defines the number of tracks or blocks allocated
to the first extent. The minimum size is 1 CKD track or your CISIZE for
FBA.
Secondary
Extent Size
The secondary extent size defines the number of tracks or blocks
allocated to every extent after the first extent. The default secondary
extent size is half the size of the primary extent.
When the primary extent is filled, secondary extents are allocated
automatically to a version of a sequential disk dataset. Secondary extents
are supported only for programs that use logical IOCS and, if they support
secondary allocations, programs that use physical IOCS.
Secondary
Allocations
You can specify the maximum number of secondary extents allowable for
a single dataset version. The maximum number is 255 secondary extents.
