How to add a page set to a queue manager

This description assumes that you have a queue manager that is already running. You might need to add a page set if, for example, your queue manager has to cope with new applications using new queues.

To add a new page set, use the following procedure:

1. Define and format the new page set. We can use the sample JCL in thlqual.SCSQPROC(CSQ4PAGE) as a basis. For more information, see Formatting page sets (FORMAT).

   Take care not to format any page sets that are in use, unless this is what you intend. If so, use the FORCE option of the FORMAT utility function.

2. Use the DEFINE PSID command with the DSN option to associate the page set with a buffer pool.

3. Add the appropriate storage class definitions for your page set by issuing DEFINE STGCLASS commands.

4. To ensure the page set remains available when you restart your queue manager:

   1. Add the new page set to the started task procedure for your queue manager.

   2. Add a definition for the new page set to your CSQINP1 initialization data set.
