Format for license information datasets

License information datasets have the following format:

• Dataset format: sequential datasets in the fixed-length record format
• Record size: 80 bytes
• Block size: multiple of 80 bytes

• Required access permissions:

  • User installing the license key: WRITE permission
  • Users other than the above that operate Business Continuity Manager: READ permission

The following job is a sample JCL that allocates license information datasets. Change the dataset prefix (%PREFIX) and VOLSER (%VSN) according to the installation environment.
