Issue/Introduction

What is required when using NOTWITH statement in ESP?

 

 

                     

 

Environment

Component: ESP Workload Automation
Release:   12.0

Resolution

The NOTWITH statement is coded in a JOB definition, and it is used to specify jobs that are mutually exclusive with the current job. 
The NOTWITH statement uses resources internally, and requires the following setup before it can be used:

1. A resource file (RESFILE).
2. The system topology (NODE and CPU command). 

    Example:     NODE <nodename> ADD
                        CPU prod ADD NODE(<nodename>) CURRENT ACTIVE

Additional Information

- The RESFILE is a VSAM data set.  A RESFILE init statement must be coded in ESP master subsystem init parmlib to specify the resource data set's name and characteristics.
