Issue/Introduction

There is a need to have a larger region for Endevor Batch job - how can this be done 

Environment

Release : 18.0 18,1

Component : Endevor Software Change Manager

Resolution

The default REGION size (4096K) for the EXEC of NDVRC1 in job step NDVRBAT can be increased in the skeleton C1SB3000 (library CSIQSENU).

  • NOTE: There are also 2 other skeletons ENDES000 & ENSP1000 that can also be changed in that way.
    C1SB3000 - Endevor actions submitted to batch
    ENDES000 - Quick-edit actions submitted to batch
    ENSP1000 - Batch package facility

Once the skeletons have been changed, for this example the C1SB3000 in the CSIQSENU library, no further action is needed.  Remember that the updates to the skeletons will need to be done over if any PTF is applied that updates them. 

Since member C1SB3000 is used by the Batch SCL dialog to generate JCL for Batch execution, another option to acquire the same results without updating skeletons, would be having the users to do the following:
    -Go to the “Batch Options Menu” (panel C1SB0000)
    -Under “Job Statement Information:”, specify REGION=xxxxx in the jobcard. (Where xxxxx is the number value desired).

If REGION=xxxxx is specified on the jobcard, it will take precedence over step coded region parameters.
