Customizing to use DFSORT to improve Z Data Tools performance

You can optionally enable ZDT/CICS to use the DFSORT COPY function to improve the performance of the data set copy and print functions through the ZDT/CICS interface.

See the instructions in Customizing to use DFSORT to improve Z Data Tools performance, substituting all references to the TSO logon procedure with the ZDT/CICS batch procedure, HFM3CICB.

For example, you can enable ZDT/CICS to use DFSORT by adding the SICELINK and SORTLPA libraries, in that order, to the STEPLIB DD statement in HFM3CICB.

This step must be completed if you plan to use DFSORT when running the ZDT/CICS interface, or through the Z Data Tools base function interface running under ZDT/CICS.
