I have developed a new cics program and a map. This new program will update newly created vsam file.

Before making my cics program live, what are all the steps I should follow to create a new vsam file in production region.

Do I to write a new batch job to update the alternate indexes for a vsam file?

HOw to initialize a PRODUCTIOn vsam file,which is created newly?

thanks in advance..

suma,

If you are authorized to create a VSAM File in production , it is NO different from how you did it in test Region. Follow the same procedure you did to create and initialize the vsam file on test region.
