To use online block size alter, what are my steps?

[steve.roy]

How do I determine what I need to do differently?  Thank you.

 

I ran a "PREINIT AREA=PCI,DBID=289,BLKSIZE=27998" to move from 4136 byte blocks.  This is during my testing of going from 15.0 to 15.1.

 

Then I ran the following:

 

//SYSIN DD *
-UPD AREA,PCI-AREA(PROD)
1000 ALTER
3001 PCI
3002 27998 4
-END

 

I received a 75(041):

 

FUNCTION = UPDATE-OCCURRENCE
DATACOM-NAME = PCI
BLOCK-SIZE = 27998 <== was 04136
SPACE-MNGMNT = 4 <== was 1

FUNCTION = CATALOG-STRUCTURE
ENTITY-TYPE = AREA
OCCURRENCE = PCI-AREA
VERSION = PROD

**** ERROR **** DB RETURN CODE = 75 (041) CXX VALIDATION ERROR

Where did you get those DDUPDATE transactions, from Roy?

 

I would have used something like:

 

+UPD AREA,PCI-AREA(PROD)

1000 ALTER

1500 BLOCK-SIZE,27998

+END

+UPD AREA,PCI-AREA(PROD)

1000 ENABLE

-END

 

Changing the DSOP is something like:

 

+UPD AREA,PCI-AREA(PROD)

1000 ALTER

1500 SPACE-MNGMNT,4

+END

 

I’ve never tried them at the same time

 

Thanks,

Clyde

Thanks for the rapid reply Clyde.

I came up with mine through other updates jobs I already use for other stuff combined with hunting for the new stuff online in the Datacom Core doc.

I will try your method.

 

Thank you,
