   Notes:

   1. The JCL job card, which will need to be changed as appropriate for your site.
      
      
   2. The comments explaining the job and listing the customization instructions. Omitted for the sake of brevity.
      
      
   3. The CLEANUP job step, which invokes IDCAMS to delete the datasets for the PDB that you will allocate. If you need to rerun the job, this job step makes certain that the previous PDB is out of the way before you allocate a new one with the same name.

      Be certain that the PDB names in the CLEANUP job step and ALLOC job step match. In the remainder of this document, the PDB will be referred to as the 'quick-start' PDB or test PDB.

      Warning: This will delete all data sets that started with this prefix, so be sure that you have no other data sets that begin with the same qualifiers!

   4. The ALLOC job step, which invokes IEFBR14 to allocate the datasets for the PDB.
      
      
   5. You may need to adjust the SPACE= parameter and/or the UNIT= parameter for the PDB data sets.
      
      
2. Tailor these steps to your collector.

   In addition to the changes mentioned in the notes above, change YOUR.NEWPDB to the name that you want to use for your test PDB.

   For example,

   Collector	Test PDB Name
   DB2	YOUR.TESTDB2.PDB
