Configure All Datasets to go via Fileshare

We next configure this enterprise server to send all I/O requests for all datasets accessed by applications running in it to the Fileshare server.

  1. On the ES Admin home page, click Edit next to FSDEMO.
  2. Click the MSS tab, select Mainframe Subsystem Support enabled, then click Apply.
  3. Click the JES tab, then select Job Entry Subsystem enabled.
  4. Complete the following fields:
    JES Program Path The path for the directory containing executable files to be run by your JCL jobs.
    System Catalog The path and file name of the system catalog. This is a file that holds the details of data files, their attributes and locations.
    Default Allocated Dataset Location The $$ format of the Fileshare server to use. In this example, also include the name of the subdirectory you created previously; for example:
    \$\$server1\datasets
    System Procedure Library The set of cataloged PDS data set names that will be searched to resolve JCL procedure names.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. You now need to start FSDEMO. You will find steps in the next section more convenient if you start it from the command line rather than from ES Admin. So, in your application command prompt, enter:

    casstart /rFSDEMO
