Dictionary/204 Is a set of application subsystems (aka APSYs) running inside a Model 204 Online that provide full-screen and web-based tools to aid programmers, DBAs, and system managers to handle the complexities of User Language and file and system management.
Installing Dictionary/204 requires downloading the M204PROC
file and restoring it to your environment, setting up some subsidiary Model 204 files, and verifying that the environment has the appropriate parameter settings.
Upgrades to Dictionary/204 can almost always be handled by restoring a fresh copy of the M204PROC
file.
A summary of the Dictionary/204 installation steps
The following checklist specifies in brief the steps to follow installing Dictionary/204, whether for MVS, CMS or VSE. The sections Installing Dictionary/204 under VSE, Installing UL/SPF under CMS, and Installing Dictionary/204 under MVS describe these steps in greater detail for each operating system.
- Allocate the space required for the
M204PROC
data set, and RESTORE it from the DUMP files found on the website.In addition, there may be any number of other data sets required for the Dictionary/204 components you are installing. These are listed in Installation checklist (VSE) ,Installation checklist (CMS) and Installation checklist (MVS).
- Update the Online JCL or EXEC:
- Add the DD cards, FILEDEFs or DLBLs for the Dictionary/204 files.
- Update CCAIN parameters:
- Start the Online, using an ONLINE load module that contains the Model 204 Version 7.5 or higher.
- To install an update to Dictionary/204,
open file
M204PROC
and execute the following command:INCLUDE DDRINST
Follow the instructions presented on the installation screen (and in the Help text for the screen).
- Verify success of the installation by compiling each Dictionary/204 APSY.
- Use the APSY named DICTADMIN to customize the Dictionary/204 environment.
Preparing for Dictionary/204 installation
The Dictionary/204 products are implemented as Model 204 subsystems.
The code for all the component subsystems resides in the file named M204PROC
which is typically downloaded from the product section of the website.
Obtaining product installation files
The files necessary for the installation are available from the Rocket Software website.
To download product files from the Rocket website:
- On the Rocket M204 Customer Care page, select the "Download Dictionary/204 files" link in the "Downloads and Uploads" section to access the "Dictionary/204 files for Rocket Software Inc." page.
- After providing your registered customer login information, download the latest version of the
Dictionary/204
file (which is labeled "Dictionary/204 products in one file" followed by a version number).A "Click here" link on this page provides Help on downloading format, some information about different browser behaviors, file sizing information, and more.
Determining eligible products
To download files or maintenance from the Rocket M204 Customer Care area of the Rocket website, you must have a registered Rocket user ID (contact Technical Support if you need an ID). The website will show only products for which your organization is up to date on maintenance or rental payments. If a product does not appear on your download page and you believe it should, contact Technical Support.
System requirements
- Dictionary/204 operates in a Model 204 Online region.
In the rest of this document, "Online" refers to a region of Model 204 running an ONLINE load module containing Version 7.5 or higher
User privileges
The installing user must have:
- Update access to the JCL or EXECs that bring up the host Online.
- System Manager privileges, as well as access to all of the Dictionary/204 subsystems and the JCL or EXEC that runs the Online Model 204 region.
New Install or Reinstall
- Sites that have never installed Dictionary/204 must use the New installation, as there are a number of files to allocate and Model 204 parameters to update.
- Sites that are re-installing the latest version of Dictionary/204 may use the "Reinstall (DDRINST)" for existing Dictionary/204 sites or the New installation"New install (DDINST)" for new Dictionary/204 sites to create a new set of Dictionary/204 files.
- If you are upgrading from a previous version or maintenance level, your site already has the Dictionary files which contain information on the customers environment.
A "New install" for customers who have never installed Dictionary/204
You can verify the Dictionary/204 version either in the title of any Dictionary/204 screen. Here are the "Install" steps:
- In the Rocket M204 Customer Care page of the Rocket website, select the "Download Dictionary/204 files" link in the "Downloads and Uploads" section to access the "Dictionary/204 files for Rocket Software Inc." page.
- Download the latest version of the
M204PROC
file (which is labeled "All Dictionary/204 products in one file" followed by a version number). - Verify that the Online in which you are installing contains a version of Model204 equal to or greater than the Dictionary/204 version.
- Restore the
M204PROC
file into a 6000-page file on your mainframe. The DDNAME for this file in your Model 204 regions is alsoM204PROC
. - Download and restore the Dictionary/204 supporting files.
- In file
M204PROC
, run the procedureDICN.DDINST
to install the downloaded release.

A "Reinstall" for existing Dictionary/204 sites
You can verify the Dictionary/204 version either in the title of any Dictionary/204 screen. Here are the "ReInstall" steps:
- In the Rocket M204 Customer Care page of the Rocket website, select the "Download Dictionary/204 files" link in the "Downloads and Uploads" section to access the "Dictionary/204 files for Rocket Software Inc." page.
- Download the latest version of the
M204PROC
file (which is labeled "All Dictionary/204 products in one file" followed by a version number). - Verify that the Online in which you are installing contains a version of Model204 equal to or greater than the Dictionary/204 version.
- Restore the
M204PROC
file into a 6000-page file on your mainframe. The DDNAME for this file in your Model 204 regions is alsoM204PROC
.If you are upgrading from a previous release, simply overlay your old
M204PROC
file.In file
M204PROC
, run the procedureDICN.DDRINST
to install the downloaded release.
The Dictionary/204 APSYs can be set to AUTOSTART
if you like.
Installing Dictionary/204 under CMS
This section gives instructions for installing Dictionary/204 under CMS, including general system and software requirements. It assumes you have reviewed Preparing for Dictionary/204 installation for details about Dictionary/204 system requirements.
The M204PROC
Model 204 file, which contains the SOUL code that runs Dictionary/204, can be obtained from the Rocket website.

Installation steps:
- Install the Sirius Mods.
UL/SPF requires a matching or greater version number of the Sirius Mods. For information about installing the Sirius Mods, see the Sirius Mods Installation Guide.
- Allocate space for the UL/SPF files, and restore them from
the distribution tape or from the dump files downloaded from the Rocket website:
- Define and format a minidisk to hold the UL/SPF installation files. 3400 4096-byte CMS blocks should be sufficient in all cases. This requires a 44-cylinder CMS minidisk on a 3390.
- Attach a tape drive at virtual address 181 to the owner of the installation minidisk defined in step A. Mount the UL/SPF distribution tape on this tape drive.
- Load the files appropriate to your site with the VMFPLC2 LOAD command.
This can be done most simply with the following sequence of commands:
TAPE REW VMFPLC2 LOAD (EOT
- Allocate space for the required Model 204 data sets. A skeleton exec,
ULSPFAL
, is provided for this purpose. Modify this exec to perform the allocations on the appropriate minidisks. Allocate space for the following data sets:SIRIUS 4200 pages; must always be allocated. SIRLOCAL 1200 pages; must always be allocated. SIRSTATS or MONDATA 60000 pages; only if you are installing SirMon. Use MONDATA
for versions 7.7 and earlier. UseSIRSTATS
for versions 8.1 and later.SIRFILED 1200 pages; only if you are installing SirFile. SIRLIBD 1200 pages; only if you are installing SirLib. SIRLIBP 1200 pages; only if you are installing SirLib. SIRTPROC 2000 pages; only if you are installing SirLib. This file can and should be sized much larger if you maintain hundreds or thousands of concurrent change decks in SirLib. JANCAT 1200 pages; only if you are installing Janus OMNI. JANSSL 1200 pages; only if you are installing Janus Network Security. Attention: If you are upgrading from a previous release, keep your old copy of
SIRLOCAL
and any application-specific data files, likeJANCAT
,SIRLIBD
,SIRFILED
, orSIRSTATS
.The installation process uses these files to determine whether to perform upgrade actions or new-installation actions.
- Restore the
SIRIUS
file with the LOADPROC exec.To restore, customize the FILEDEF inside the LOADPROC exec to conform to local standards. In addition, modify LOADPROC CCAIN to contain a valid login ID and password. If, for example, you are using the
SIRIUS
file for the first time, make sure it is created, opened, and initialized before the RESTORE.To run the LOADPROC exec, make sure the Online execs and load modules are on an accessed disk, then enter this command:
ONLINE LOADPROC
- Complete steps 3 through the end in the "Installing UL/SPF under MVS" section, below.
Installing Dictionary/204 under MVS
This section gives instructions for installing Dictionary/204 under MVS, including the general system and software requirements. If like most sites, you download products and updates from the Rocket website, see the instructions in A "Reinstall" for existing Dictionary/204 sites.
Installation checklist (MVS)
- Allocate the space required for the Dictionary/204 files. If you are creating a new
M204PROC
file from scratch, this will not be a problem. But if you are restoring into your existingM204PROC
file, you will have to CREATE the file first (to wipe out existing content) before you execute the RESTORE. The command sequence is something like:CREATE FILE M204PROC END CREATE OPEN FILE M204PROC IN M024PROC RESTORE 192 FROM <whatever>
M204PROC 6000 pages METADATA 400 pages DATALINK 400 pages M204TEMP 150 pages D204RPT 110 pages D204SYS 400 pages M204DCTL 100 pages Attention: If you are upgrading from a previous release, keep your old copies of Dictionary/204 files. The installation process uses these files to determine whether to perform upgrade actions or new-installation actions.
- Restore
M204PROC
, noting the following:- Rename database DSNs to conform to local standards.
- Provide a valid logon ID and password for the CCAIN stream for this job.
If, for example, you are using the
M204PROC
file for the first time, make sure it is created, opened, and initialized before the RESTORE.
- Update the Online JCL or EXEC:
- Add DD (MVS) cards or FILEDEFs (CMS) for the Dictionary/204 files.
The following list identifies the files for which DD cards or FILEDEFs may be needed:
M204PROC METADATA DATALINK M204TEMP M204DCTL D204SYS D204RPT
- Add DD (MVS) cards or FILEDEFs (CMS) for the Dictionary/204 files.
The following list identifies the files for which DD cards or FILEDEFs may be needed:
- Verify that the Online environment allows the use of file groups and APSY subsystems.
- To use permanent file groups, the Online must have allocated an
initialized
CCAGRP
file, and the SYSOPT parameter must contain the2
bit. - To use APSYs, an Online must have allocated an initialized CCASYS file
(with all fields defined), and the SYSOPT parameter must contain the
1
bit.For more information about APSYs and file groups, see File groups and System requirements for Application Subsystems.
- To use permanent file groups, the Online must have allocated an
initialized
- Modify the User 0 stream.
Adjust these parameters:
NFILES Increase by the number of Dictionary/204 files. NDCBS Increase by the number of Dictionary/204 files. NDIR Increase by the number of Dictionary/204 files. NORQS Verify setting is at least 5. - Start the Model 204 Online region, verifying that it points to a load module containing the Sirius Mods.
- Issue
OPEN FILE M204PROC
(no password is required), and execute the following command:INCLUDE DICN.DDRINST
This procedure performs all installation functions for new users, and all upgrade functions for reinstalling users. No user profiles or other site-specific customization will be lost. If any problems are encountered while running this procedure, correct the problem and re-execute.
During APSY execution, some error messages are not suppressed to aid in diagnosing any installation problems. For example, you will be able to see if an installation failed because a file was enqueued in a different Online, etc.
- Add users to the appropriate SCLASSes for any private or semi-public Dictionary/204 APSYs.
The installing user is automatically added to the administration SCLASS in all Dictionary/204 APSYs.
- Verify the installation of the subsystem(s) by compiling all of the subsystems.
Enter ... To test the ... START SUBSYS DICTIONARY DICTIONARY MENU START SUBSYS DICTADMIN DICTIONARY ADMINISTRATION START SUBSYS DOCUMENT Documentation environment START SUBSYS FILEMGMT File building tool START SUBSYS SUBSYSMGMT Defining APSY subsystems START SUBSYS DICTREPORT Dictionary report subsystem START SUBSYS XREF Cross reference reporting subsystem If any of these subsystems fails to compile, ensure that the subsystem is STOPped, and run it under
TEST DEBUG
mode. For example, to determine why DICTIONARY failed to compile, enter:TEST DEBUG DICTIONARY
- This step is optional.
Modify the online input stream so User 0 initializes (compiles) the UL/SPF subsystems.
Do this by placing one or more of the following in User 0's input stream:
START SUBSYS DICTIONARY START SUBSYS DOCUMENT START SUBSYS DICTADMIN START SUBSYS FILEMGMT START SUBSYS SUBSYSMGMT START SUBSYS DICTREPORT START SUBSYS XREF START SUBSYSTEM ULSPF
This ensures that the subsystems are started for non-administrative users, and it shifts the overhead of compilation to a non-peak computing period.
- Review the Dictionary/204 server size and additional customization section, below, for specific requirements of individual APSY components of Dictionary/204.
Note: CCATEMP usage may increase with Dictionary/204.
CCATEMP should be monitored (VIEW TEMPSIZE
, VIEW TEMPMAX
) to ensure that sufficient space is allocated to accommodate the additional activity.
Dictionary/204 server size and additional customization
The minimum Dictionary/204 server size requirements are listed below. The actual server size requirements may vary slightly, because of table settings in the local Online Model 204 regions, and because of slight differences between UTABLE requirements in different versions of Model 204.
Subsystem name | Minimum server |
---|---|
DICTIONARY | 180K |
DOCUMENT | 180K |
DICTADMIN | 230K |
FILEMGMT | 380K |
SUBSYSMGMT | 135K |
DICTREPORT | 150K |
XREF | 135K |
