Hi.
I'm carefully reading?
My main concern is that some of the parameters there proposed may not be present in MVS IDECAMS version. I have to figure that out.
Beyond that, the guide reads clear, comprehensive and to the point. Reminds me to a kind of 'Linux Howto' Mainframish equivalent. It covers several scenarios and use cases, including the one I'm in: redefining my Catalog to have more growing space. Very good point!
Regarding your proposed 'high level' roadmap. Sure, best bet is backup everything first!
In fact I'm going to arrange a separate Tk5 as testing ground to practice all this... I think the hercules DASD shadowing feature could be helpful in this scenario in order to 'rollback' from foreseeable 'screwed up' situations (I have never used it).
But I have to further read on repro... I found that it can do many things! so I fail to see the meaning and differences between roadmap steps 2 and 3 (I grasp it goes towards having VSAM stuff dumped to vanilla PS datasets).
You're helping me a lot! thank you!
