Validation job JOB08DEM: the TESTLIB needs to be pre-allocated and EZTGTHL high level qualifier info

Products

• Easytrieve Report Generator

Issue/Introduction

Running the demo program JOB08DEM for 11.6 version for Easytrieve product:

 

 1. What is TESTLLIB and how it must be allocated before running this job? 

 2. Which high level qualifier should be used for EZTGTHL? Runtime high level qualifier or maintenance high level qualifier?

 

 

Environment

Easytrieve Report Generator, release 11.6

 

Resolution

Yes, the TESTLLIB must be allocated before running the job.

 

Please see this note in the JOB08DEM job:
//*   Note: The TESTLLIB must be allocated before running this job. 

 

The TESTLLIB is:
 TESTLLIB='dataset-name-of-test-loadlib-to-link-EZT-pgm-into'

 

So, this library will hold the loadlib members you are executing.

The JoB08DEM job has multiple steps: it compiles, links (thereby creating the load module), and then executes the load module.

 

The attributes are just as any load library would be defined.

 

Example attributes:

 

 

For the EZTGTHL qualifier,

EZTGTHL='high-lvl-qualifier-of-EZT-target-libs',

 

This would be the target library where the maintenance is installed, so please use the maintenance high level qualifier.

 

This JOB08DEM job is an IVP job which is supplied to ensure that release 11.6 has been installed correctly.

Running against the base and not picking up the maintenance which has been received and applied will not allow a correct test as problems may be encountered which have already been fixed by the maintenance.
