Convert VSAM files to the new system format

Create a backup copy of the HCL Workload Automation for Z VSAM files.
Allocate VSAM and non-VSAM data sets for HCL Workload Automation for Z by using the EQQPCS01 and EQQPCS02 jobs.
Review the EQQICNVS sample job. Ensure that input and output data set names are correctly specified. Make sure you select the current JS file. When defining input and output files for the CP file conversion, use the NCP file, because a new current plan has just been created.
Run EQQICNVS to convert the VSAM data to HCL Workload Automation for Z format.
Verify that the conversion program ran successfully. If there are any problems converting the VSAM files, you should abandon the migration.
Back up the HCL Workload Automation for Z non-VSAM data sets.
If you have stopped migrating, start OPCA, OPCB, and OPCC. Release any held queues and restart any drained initiators.
