IDMS: ARCHIVE JOURNAL jobs are not running

Products

• IDMS
• IDMS - Database

Issue/Introduction

ARCHIVE JOURNAL jobs should normally be automatically submitted by the following process:

A CV system journal fills, the CV swaps to the next journal and writes a DC205003 message.
The WTOEXIT intercepts this message and submits the job - ideally defined in the AJNLJOB ddname of the CV's startup job.

Environment

Release : All supported releases.
Component : CA IDMS/DB

Cause

The  most likely cause of the ARCHIVE JOURNAL jobs not being submitted is that the WTOEXIT has not been specified.

Resolution

There are two ways to specify the WTOEXIT.

• Use the WTO=wto-exit-name Startup Option, or
• Include the WTOEXIT in the link-edit of IDMSUXIT.

If neither of these is done, the ARCHIVE JOURNAL jobs will not be submitted.
