Supported and unsupported object types

Objects not supported

The following objects are not supported for use in independent disk pools:
*AUTHLR *DEVD *JOBQ *PRDDFN
*AUTL *DOC *JOBSCD *PRDLOD
*CFGL *DSTMF *LIND *RCT
*CNNL *EDTD *MODD *SOCKET
*COSD *EXITRG *M36 *SSND
*CRG *FLR *M36CFG *S36
*CSPMAP *IGCSRT *NTBD *USRPRF
*CSPTBL *IGCTBL *NWID  
*CTLD *IMGCLG *NWSD  
*DDIR *IPXD *PRDAVL  
Note: *DSTMF is the object type returned for stream files that are being accessed through the QNTC file system from a remote server. So you shouldn't see *DSTMF ever when accessing the IASP directories from the local system.

Supported object types

The following objects are supported for use in independent disk pools:
*ALRTBL *FILE *MSGF *SCHIDX
*BLKSF *FNTRSC *MSGQ *SPADCT
*BNDDIR *FNTTBL *NODGRP *SPLF
*CHRSF *FORMDF *NODL *SQLPKG
*CHTFMT *FTR *OUTQ *SQLUDT
*CLD *GSS *OVL *SRVPGM
*CLS *IGCDCT *PAGDFN *STMF
*CMD *JOBD *PAGSEG *SVRSTG
*CRQD *JRN *PDG *SYMLNK
*CSI *JRNRCV *PGM *TBL

*DTAQ *MENU *QMQRY *VLDL
*FCT *MGTCOL *QRYDFN *WSCST
*FIFO *MODULE *SBSD  

Restrictions for supported object types

*ALRTBL
If network attributes reference the alert table, this object needs to exist in the system disk pool.
*CLS
If an active subsystem references the class object, *CLS must exist in the system disk pool.
*FILE
Database files that are either multiple-system database files, or that have DataLink fields that are created as Link Control, cannot be located in an independent disk pool. If an active subsystem references the file object, *FILE must exist in the system disk pool; for example, the sign-on display file.
*JOBD
If an active subsystem references the job description object, *JOBD must exist in the system disk pool; for example, autostart job entry, communication entry, remote location name entry, or workstation entry.
*LIB
The library that is specified by CRTSBSD SYSLIBLE() must exist in the system disk pool.
*MSGQ
If network attributes reference the mesage queue, *MSGQ needs to exist in the system disk pool.
*PGM
If an active subsystem references the program object, *PGM must exist in the system disk pool; for example, routing entries and prestart job entries.
*SBSD
You cannot start a subsystem whose description is located in an independent disk pool.
