Issue/Introduction

What needs to be done to update the external job tracking feature in CA 7?

Resolution

The following document describes how to run CAS9 (CAIRIM) to update an existing external tracking table for a CA 7 instance.

After adding new tasks/jobs to the table, you will assemble and link SASSEXTL and SASSEXTT, then refresh LLA (if needed).

Create a new member called XJOBUPD and it will have the following control card:

CA71 UPDATE XJOB(SASSEXTL)

Next you will run CAS9 (CAIRIM) to load the new table using the following os command:

S CAS9 ,L2OPTS=XJOBUPD

If modifications were made to SASSEXTT, you will need to issue the following top line CA 7 command:

/RELINK,A=SASSEXTT.  If there is an APPLCTN statement in the CA 7 initialization file for SASSEXTT with an ATTR=PERM or RESD, then the /RELINK cannot be done and you will have to recycle CA 7 to load the new copy of SASSEXTT.

 

The following is a sample CAS9(CAIRIM) JCL:

//CAIRIM EXEC PGM=CAIRIM,REGION=0M 
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.common.services.loadlib
//                DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.CA7.loadlib 
//PARMLIB DD *
PRODUCT(CA-7) VERSION(L2C1)               <-- change version if needed
//L2OPTS  DD *
CA71 UPDATE XJOB(SASSEXTL)
//KEYS    DD DUMMY
