Issue/Introduction:
CA JCLCheck may be invoked from CA WA ESP to validate ESP jobs that contain JCL. There are 2 methods of executing CA JCLCheck
1. Batch mode using the SIMULATE EVENT command
2. ISPF mode using the Simulate Event function.
Environment:
CA JCLCheck release 12.0
CA Workload Automation ESP release 11.4
Resolution:
1. Batch mode execution using the SIMULATE EVENT command.
Example #1:
// JOB statement
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=20
//STEPLIB DD DSN=caesp114.CD7YLOAD,DISP=SHR <== ESP loadlib
// DD DSN=cajck12.CAZ2LOAD,DISP=SHR <== JCLCheck loadlib
//JCLOPTS DD DSN=cajck12.options,DISP=SHR <== Optional. Contains JCLCheck processing options.
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
ESP SUB(espp)
SIMULATE EVENT(cyb.eventxyz) JCLCHECK
/*
Example #2:
// JOB statement
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=ESP,REGION=4M,PARM='SUBSYS(espp)'
//STEPLIB DD DSN=caesp114.CD7YLOAD,DISP=SHR <== ESP loadlib
// DD DSN=cajck12.CAZ2LOAD,DISP=SHR <== JCLCheck loadlib
//JCLOPTS DD DSN=cajck12.options,DISP=SHR <== Optional. Contains JCLCheck processing options.
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SIMULATE EVENT(cyb.eventxyz) JCLCHECK

2.
SIMULATE an event from the ESP ISPF interface:
a. On the ESP Event Control Menu, use option "M Simulate" on a single event name, or bring up a list of events, and enter M next to an event name.
b. On the Simulate Event Execution panel (paneid CYBESSIM), specify Y for "Additional Options".
c. On panelid CYBESSI1, enter Y for "Invoke JCLCheck".
d. The JCLCheck parameters panel (panelid CYBESSI6) is displayed. (Parameters are optional, and may be left blank. Refer to the SIMULATE command for descriptions of these parameters.)
e. Hit Enter to run the simulation.
f. The simulation output is displayed on the user console.
