Data Sets

SMP is basically a large application program that uses the MVS compilers and utilities to maintain software.  To this end, SMP has a number of data sets that have been established to maintain the software images.  These data sets contain the controlling database for software inventories, the libraries that hold the executing software, work files, and hold areas for work in progress.  The following table identifies the normal SMP data sets.  Note that other vendors may add data sets to the list as they install new products.

SMPPTSPTF temporary store - used to hold RECEIVEd SYSMODsCard-image partitioned dataset

 

SMPMTSMacro temporary store - intermediate library for storage of macros which are updated or replaced by an APPLY but do not reside in a target libraryCard-image partitioned dataset

 

SMPSTSSource temporary store - like SMPMTS, but for source which is updated/replaced by an APPLY and does not reside in a target libraryCard-image partitioned dataset

Work and scratch datasets used by utilities invoked by SMPTemporary files

 

TLIBTarget library - contains the code of one or more of the software products under SMP's control - DDNAME generally corresponds to low-level qualifier of dataset namePartitioned dataset

 

DLIBDistribution library - contains components required to rebuild members of target libraries if a change to the target library needs to be backed out - DDNAME generally corresponds to low-level qualifier of dataset namePartitioned dataset
