Creating spool model definitions

Overview

The installation job B97DBFOR allocates one spool file of each type during installation. After the installation is complete, you must manually add a sufficient number of spool model definitions of each type.

Defining spool file models

To define a spool file model:

From the Primary Selection Menu, choose option D ‑ DATABASE, then 1 ‑ DATABASE.
The "Dataset Definition Selection" panel is displayed.
Enter the line command I in front of any dataset.
The "Insert Model Definition" panel is displayed.

Note: We recommend that you enter the line command I in front of a spool file of the same type. Then most of the fields in the insertion panel will already display the correct values and the amount of typing you have to do in this panel will be reduced.
Type a new name (or number) for the spool file in the Data Set Name field. Accept or change the entries in the other fields according to your wishes and press ENTER to save the spool file model.

Formatting a spool file model manually

If you do not want Adabas Audit Data Retrieval to allocate and format spool files as needed but want to do this beforehand, you may also allocate and format the spool files manually.

To allocate and format a spool file:

In the Dataset Definition Selection panel, enter line command F in front of a spool file model definition.
In the displayed panel, press ENTER to confirm the requested command.
