Issue/Introduction

Need to make a change to all the JCL elements and looking for a way to do a mass Retrieve of all the JCL elements to an external PDS library.  And once all the changes have been made, looking for a way to Add them all back.

Environment

Release : All Supported versions

Resolution

The best way to do a Mass action in Endevor like Add or Retrieve is to use the Endevor Batch facility.

 

1) Log into Endevor and go to 3 Batch

 

2) On the Batch Options Menu panel specify:

       1  BUILD SCL       and specify the library and member name where the generated SCL is to be saved.

            <ENTER>

 

3) On the BUILD SCL select 3 RETRIEVE

 

4) Fill in the RETRIEVE ELEMENTS panel information -

           From Location - Environment, Type, ....

           To Library

 

          Go to  the selection list.  Does the list look right?

          If so, PF3 out and change the Display List option from Y to N:                  
                     DISPLAY LIST            ===> N

 

          This will generate the Retrieve SCL for all the elements.

 

5) PF3 and it will tell you how may SCL statements were built in the upper right :

           xx REQUEST(S) BUILT

 

6) PF3 again and do a 2 EDIT to review the SCL built. Modify it if necessary.

 

7) When the SCL is good, do a 3 SUBMIT to run the Retrieve actions.

 

 

Once the updates have been made, use the same procedure to perform a mass Add of the elements back into Endevor.

 

1) Log into Endevor and go to 3 Batch

 

2) On the Batch Options Menu panel specify:

       1  BUILD SCL       and specify the library and member name where the generated SCL is to be saved.

            <ENTER>

 

3) On the BUILD SCL select 2  ADD/UPDATE

 

4) Fill in the ADD/UPDATE ELEMENTS panel information -

           To Location - Environment, Type, ....

           From Library

 

          Go to  the selection list.  Does it look right?

          If so, PF3 out and change the Display List option from Y to N:                  
                     DISPLAY LIST            ===> N

 

          This will generate the Add SCL for all the elements.

 

5) PF3 and it will tell you how may SCL statements were built in the upper right :

           xx REQUEST(S) BUILT

 

6) PF3 again and do a 2 EDIT to review the SCL built. Modify it if necessary.

 

7) When the SCL is good, do a 3 SUBMIT to run the Add actions.
