Issue/Introduction
Control-M Scheduler (CTM) from BMC is a workload management product for scheduling and controlling batch workloads. CA JCLCheck can validate JCL containing embedded CTM variables; however, there are different ways these variables are resolved under the following CA JCLCheck environments: ■ EDCHEK (ISPF EDIT and CA Endevor EDIT) ■ ISPF interface ■ Batch invocation
Using Online CTM interface under EJCK, it can happen that, asking for validation with variable expansion, the interface gets the following error : ... IKJ56225I DATA SET BMC.dsname.JOBLIST ALREADY IN USE, TRY LATER+ IKJ56225I DATA SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB OR USER IEFA110I DATA SET CONTENTION DATA SET BMC.dsname.JOBLIST IN USE BY ... IOAD9CE ALLOCATION FAILED FOR DDNAME : DAJOBLST IOAEAAE CALL TO IOALOC FAILED ...
and the validation ends abnormally. How to customize the CTM interface to bypass this error?
Environment
Z/OS - JCLCheck - Control-M (BMC)
Resolution
Basically the allocation of the DAJOBLST file depends on some specific customization/parm settings in Control-M, but JCLCheck itself does not require it. So, if this error occurs under EJCK with CTM Interface active, it is necessary to customize the EJCK Clist used as follows:
1. Allocate at the beginning a DUMMY DAJOBLST file 2. Execute a FREE of this file at the end of the clist
