Testing multi system ICSF on a single system.

I only have a single z/OS image, and as part of testing ICSF in a multi system environment, I needed a second ICSF environment. I am the only user on my system, so I can stop and start ICSF as I please.

I set up a second set of ICSF datasets, and a second CSPRMxx parmlib member. I then used

P CSF
S CSF,PRM=C2
D ICSF,KDS

The D ICSF,KDS command, tells you what ICSF data sets are being used.

When using CSFKGUP I was careful to specify the correct dataset

//STEP10 EXEC PGM=CSFKGUP
// SET CKDS=COLIN.SCSFCKDS.NEW

To go back to my primary system.

P CSF
S CSF
