Redefining and initializing the local and global catalogs

When you migrate to a new CICS® release, you need to delete, redefine and initialize the CICS local catalog (LCD) and global catalog (GCD).

  1. Delete your existing local catalog and global catalog.
  2. Define and initialize new local and global catalogs, following the instructions in the CICS System Definition Guide for setting up catalog data sets. When you initialize the catalogs, make sure that you use the CICS TS for z/OS®, Version 3.1 versions of the DFHRMUTL and DFHCCUTL utility programs and the sample jobs.
  3. When you start the CICS region for the first time after migration, make sure that this is an initial start (with the START=INITIAL parameter).
