The ORA$FPS parameter file contains file group definitions which are specified using keyword(value) syntax. Each definition must start with the keyword FILE_GROUP(name) and continues until the next FILE_GROUP (name) keyword is encountered. Comments must start with an asterisk (*) and can begin in any column as long as comments (that are on the same line as keywords) are separated from the last keyword by at least one blank.
Keywords can be coded one per line or strung together on the same line separated by at least one blank, but a keyword(value) pair cannot be split across two lines.
No defaults are defined for the parameters. If a keyword is not coded, then it will not be used on the DEFINE CLUSTER or dynamic allocation that is used to create data sets in the associated group. The only parameter that can be overridden or
Server File Management Parameters
supplied from the SQL command line is SPACE, which the Oracle server supports via the SIZE keyword in SQL statements that specify files. The default file group (DFLT) supplies parameters for any file group that is completely omitted from the file management parameters. Keywords are described in the following list:
Keyword Description
BUFNO(nnn) Specifies the number of I/O buffers to be allocated by EDM for use during conventional (non-proxy) backup and restore operations, where nnn is a decimal number from 1 to 255. Each buffer is equal in size to the block size of the associated backup data set. The buffers are allocated above the 16MB line.
BUFNO(3) is the default.
CREATE_MODELDSN(ds n)
Specifies a data set name to use as a MODEL in IDCAMS DEFINE CLUSTER commands. This value is mutually exclusive with the SMS class name parameters. CREATE_MODELDSN can be abbreviated MODEL.
DATACLAS(classname )
Specifies an SMS data class name to be specified on DEFINE CLUSTER or dynamic allocation requests to create new data sets.
DATACLAS can be abbreviated DATACL. DEFAULT_SPACE(prim
ary secondary)
Specifies default primary and secondary space quantities for a data set that is being created. The primary quantity applies only in situations where the Oracle server has not indicated the desired file size. The secondary quantity is optional and is meaningful only for non-VSAM data sets created by the server, such as trace files. It is ignored for the VSAM LDS clusters comprising the database. Both values must be numbers and are expressed in kilobyte (1024-byte) units. DEFAULT_SPACE can be abbreviated SPA.
DSS_COMPRESS(YES|N O)
Specifies whether DFSMSdss should compress data sets dumped during a proxy backup. This parameter is applicable to proxy backup only; if specified for conventional backup, it is ignored.
YES indicates that DFSMSdss will compress dumped data sets.
NO indicates that DFSMSdss will not compress dumped data sets. The default is NO.
EDM_TAPEDSN(dsname )
Specifies the data set name to be used for allocation purposes during a proxy backup or restore operation. The data set is not cataloged but it is placed in the tape header. System symbols may be used to ensure uniqueness, thus preventing enqueue contention during concurrent proxy operations. This parameter is applicable to proxy backup only; if specified for conventional backup, it is ignored. The default value is
ORACLE.EDMBKUP.Axxxx.D&&LYYMMDD..T&&LHHMMSS , where xxxx is the address space ID of the EDM.
Server File Management Parameters
EXPIRATION_DATE (yyyyddd|yyddd)
Specifies a data set expiration date to be used for allocation during EDM backup data set creation or restoration, where yyyyddd is a four-digit year and three-digit day of the year, and yyddd is a two-digit year and three-digit day of the year.
EXPIRATION_DATE can be abbreviated EXPDT. FILE_GROUP(name) Specifies the file group to which the file management
parameters belong, where name is one of the allowed 4-letter file group names. This ends any in-progress file group definition and begins a new one. FILE_GROUP can be abbreviated FILE. MGMTCLAS(classname
)
Specifies an SMS management class name to be specified on DEFINE CLUSTER or dynamic allocation requests to create new data sets. MGMTCLAS can be abbreviated MGMTCL.
RECALL(ALL|NONE) Specifies whether migrated data sets may be recalled during backup data set allocation for an EDM restore operation. ALL indicates that the recall of migrated data sets is allowed during backup data set allocation. NONE indicates the recall of migrated data sets is not allowed during backup data set allocation. The default is RECALL(NONE).
SHAREOPTION(n) Specifies the VSAM cross-region shareoption to be used on DEFINE CLUSTER.
SHAREOPTION(1) is the default. It must be specified as SHAREOPTION(3) if the associated data set is to use the AUTOEXTEND feature in a server configured to run in multiple address spaces. See the discussion of AUTOEXTEND and z/OS space management under "Tablespaces and z/OS Space Management" on page 4-4. SHAREOPTION can be abbreviated SHR.
STORCLAS(classname )
Specifies an SMS storage class name to be specified on DEFINE CLUSTER or dynamic allocation requests to create new data sets.
STORCLAS can be abbreviated STORCL.
UNIT(unitname) Specifies an allocation unit name to use in dynamic allocation requests that create new non-VSAM data sets. This parameter is intended for future use when non-VSAM files use file
management parameters.
