CICS-supplied jobs to create CICS data sets

CICS® supplies the following jobs that you can use to create the CICS data sets.

Job
Function
DFHCOMDS
Deletes and re-creates data sets common to all CICS regions. (See Table 4.)
DFHDEFDS
Deletes and re-creates copies of data sets used only by one CICS region. (See Table 5.) You run a separate copy of this job to create the data sets for each CICS region.
DFHCMACI
Deletes and re-creates the CICS messages data set, DFHCMACD, and loads it with the data from the CICS-supplied file, DFHCMACD, in the CICSTS31.CICS.SDFHMSGS target library.

When you ran the DFHISTAR job as part of the CICS installation or post-installation tasks, these jobs were tailored to your environment and stored in the library that you specified on the LIB parameter of the DFHISTAR job (by default, CICSTS31.XDFHINST). If you have not yet run DFHISTAR, you should do so before running any of the CICS post-installation jobs.

You can generate several copies of these jobs by rerunning the DFHISTAR job, selecting the jobs that you want to copy. To generate new copies of these jobs, edit the DFHISTAR job to specify new values for the DSINFO and SELECT parameters. Only those jobs that you name by the SELECT parameter are regenerated.

For information about these jobs and about generating new versions of them, see the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® Installation Guide.
