Quick DASD Allocation System (QDAS) Creating QDAS Share Files
Chapter 2. Installing the Basic System 2-53
Creating QDAS Share Files
The Share File allows QDAS to access and update its space usage map from multiple
machines. A Share File is required for each volume that has been defined to QDAS and is
accessed by more than one machine. TSIVCLR initializes the Share Files. Sample JCL can
be found in the BIM-EPIC installation sublibrary as TSIVCLR.Z.
The name of each Share File in a VTOC is volid.QDAS.RELx.SHARE.FILE where volid is
the volume serial number of the QDAS-controlled volume. The Share File is given an
expiration date of 2099/366 (permanent retention).
Initialize a Share File for each shared volume with the TSIVCLR utility, as shown below.
// DLBL TSIVFLE,'volid.REL4.SHARE.FILE'
// EXTENT SYSnnn,volid,1,0,n,1
// ASSGN SYSnnn,DISK,VOL=volid,SHR
// EXEC TSIVCLR
MAP=nnnnn
/*
You must define the QDAS Share File with a DLBL statement, using the DTF name
TSIVFLE. You can specify any dataset name; TSIVCLR assigns the actual name in the
format shown above.
Use standard complete EXTENT and ASSGN statements to complete the definition of
TSIVFLE.

To minimize arm movement, we recommend that the file be created close to the VTOC.
Failing to create a QDAS Share File on a shared volume may result in disk dataset
corruption on that volume.
BIM-EPIC Release 6.3 allows MAP= values greater than the previous maximum of 2044.
QDAS Share Files created prior to the 6.3 release can be used by 6.3, and QDAS Share Files
created under Release 6.3 can be shared between CPU’s using 6.3 and CPU’s using earlier
releases as long as a Share File created under Release 6.3 does not have a MAP= value
larger than 2044. If a QDAS Share File is created under Release 6.3 with a MAP= value
larger than 2044, that file and the DASD it controls CANNOT be shared with BIM-EPIC
releases prior to Release 6.3. File and VTOC corruption are guaranteed if this rule is not
observed.
The required MAP control statement specifies the number of VTOC entries (active extents)
that the QDAS Share File supports. Its value must not be less than the value of the TSIVDEF
MAP parameter for the same volume (see below).
