Providing a DOPT ACBLIB data set

You must provide an ACBLIB data set into which the ACB Maintenance utility can generate DOPT PSBs. Use the DYNACB parameter on the FMN1POPI macro statement to specify the name of this data set.

When the ACBs are managed by your installation (ACBMGMT=ACBLIB), you must concatenate the specified data set with the primary ACBLIB data set in the IMS execution JCL (that is, the JCL that starts the IMS control region). The DOPT ACBLIB data set must be concatenated to both the IMSACBA and IMSACBB DDs in the IMS execution JCL.

When IMS management of ACBs is enabled (ACBMGMT=CATALOG), you do not have to concatenate the specified data set with the primary ACBLIB data set. Instead, the specified data set is used as input for the IMS Catalog Populate utility (DFS3PU00), which adds the DOPT PSBs to the IMS catalog. Note that the specified data set is also required by functions that run in DLI mode.
