Once you have estimated the potential size of the transient data storage pool you must create a dedicated filesystem. That filesystem will then be assigned a mount point that will be referenced in the CDCStore configuration (.cab) file. As discussed previously this filesystem need not be large but it is critical that it be dedicated for this purpose because the Storage agent will create and remove files as needed based on the definition of the storage pool. It will expect the space it has been told it can use to be available when needed and will terminate the capture if it is not. Double the amount of space you have estimated will be required. That will allow you to adjust the number of blocks and files in your configuration without having to add an additional mount point and filesystem.
//ALLOCZFS JOB 1,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),MSGCLASS=H,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//*
//*--------------------------------------------------------------------
//* Allocate Transient Storage Filesystem for DB2 z/OS Capture Agent
//*--------------------------------------------------------------------
//* Required parameters (set below):
//* ZFS - the name of the VSAM cluster aggregate
//* MB - the number of megabytes to allocate to the cluster
//* DIR - the directory name of the ZFS mountpoint
//* which was previously created using member ALLOCZDR
//* SMS - the SMS class to be assigned to the cluster
//* VOL - the DASD volume(s) used for cluster allocation
//*
//* Notes:
//* 1) You must be a UID(0) User to Run this Job
//*
//* 2) This job contains six (6) steps as follows:
//* - Unmount the existing file system - optional
//* - Define the ZFS filesystem VSAM cluster aggregate
//* - Format the ZFS filesystem aggregate
//* - Format the ZFS filesystem aggregate
//* - Create the mountpoint directory
//* - Mount the ZFS filesystem
