Issue/Introduction

How to configure Generalized Transaction Server (GTS) for Scheduler to track USS files?

Environment

Component: Generalized Transaction Server

Resolution

1.   In the GTS started task, add the SUBSYS name of Scheduler if you are not using the default.
      //$$SCxx  DD  DUMMY

2.  In the GTS started task, add a SYSPRINT DD.
     //SYSPRINT  DD  SYSOUT=*  

3.  In the GTS started task, add a STEPLIB DD pointing to the Scheduler MUF CUSLIB and CAAXLOAD if they are not in the linklist.

4.  In the UFINIT dataset  that is specified in the GTS started task, add files that you are listening for and the Scheduler command you want issued when the file is created.
    
     Example:
     /u/user/joeuser/payroll.file,S;SC RUN JOB NAME=PAY001,JNO=01,ST=40,S=PAYSCHD

     When the file /u/user/joeuser/payroll.file is created, it will send the command to Scheduler to run the JOB PAY001 in schedule PAYSCHD.
