Defining the MSGTEXT Cluster

To use the online message help, you must define the platform server MSGTEXT VSAM data set.

Procedure

  1. Edit the SYSIN parameters of the DEFMSGT JCL to specify the volume and file name according to your installation requirements.
    IDCAMS is invoked to create a linear VSAM file.
  2. Submit the JCL and verify that the VSAM file is successfully created.
    Note: In some cases, it might be necessary to re-create the MSGTEXT cluster. The JCL is written to be able to be rerun. Therefore, after deleting the existing MSGTEXT cluster, you will get an error code result when the job runs for the first time. If this is the only error code that you receive, you can ignore it.

    The MSGTEXT file contains the same message text and message explanations as provided in TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS Message Manual. You can access this information by using the FUSMSG REXX exec or through the primary Fusion ISPF menu.
