JCLCheck Workload Automation CA 7 Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

The JCLCheck runtime options are set depending on if CA-7 comes up using the Common Component or JCLCHECK Workload Automation and they are not the same.  Where are the options being read from, and can they be changed?

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : JCLCheck Workload Automation

Resolution

The displayed JCLCheck runtime options are hardcoded in CA-7.  To change the JCLCheck runtime options:

1. Add the statement "JCLCHECK,DDNAME=ddname" to the CA-7 INIT deck.   Example:  

          JCLCHECK,DDNAME=JCLOPTS

2. Add the DDname to the CA-7 started task JCL.  Example: 

         //JCLOPTS DD DSN=jclcheck.options.file,DISP=SHR

3. Specify the desired runtime options in DSN=jclcheck.options.file.  Example:

         NOCT TERM NOLIST NOSP

4. Recycle the CA-7 started task.

The CA-7 init log will show O(JCLOPTS) to indicate that an option file is used, but the options that are set in the option file will not be displayed.

When JCLCheck is invoked, it will read the options from this file, and merge them with the default ones.
