Resolution

Endevor has a utility called the Batch Environment Administration Facility (aka BATCH ADMIN) which is design to provide a more efficient way for an Endevor Admin to build new Endevor inventory structure objects such a system, subsystem, etc than going through the foreground panels.

Example;

By using a BUILD statement such as:

 BUILD SCL FOR SYSTEM SYSXYZ

 FROM ENV ENVX INCLUDE SUBO

 TO   DSNAME 'IPFRIX.IQUAL.JCL' MEMBER 'BATXXX'

      REPLACE.

 

Define statements will be built as such:

 000001    DEFINE SYSTEM 'SYSXYZ'

 000002        TO ENVIRONMENT 'ENVX'

 000003        DESCRIPTION " SYSTEM ENTRY STGE TEST"

 000004        NEXT SYSTEM 'SYSXYZ'

 000005        COMMENTS NOT REQUIRED

 000006        CCID NOT REQUIRED

 000007        CSP ASSOCIATES NOT DEFINED

 000008        DUPLICATE ELEMENT CHECK IS NOT ACTIVE

 000009        DUPLICATE PROCESSOR OUTPUT CHECK IS NOT ACTIVE

 000010        DO NOT RETAIN ELEMENT LEVEL BY AGE

 000011        DO NOT RETAIN COMPONENT LEVEL BY AGE

 000012        ELEMENT JUMP ACKNOWLEDGEMENT NOT REQUIRED

 000013        SIGNOUT IS NOT ACTIVE

 000014        SIGNOUT DATASET VALIDATION IS NOT ACTIVE

 000015        STAGE ONE

 000016           LOAD LIBRARY 'XXX.SUPPORT.STG1.PRCSLOAD'

 000017        STAGE ONE

 000018           LIST LIBRARY 'XXX.SUPPORT.STG1.PRCSLIST'

 000019        STAGE TWO

 000020           LOAD LIBRARY 'XXX.SUPPORT.STG2.PRCSLOAD'

 000021        STAGE TWO

 000022           LIST LIBRARY 'XXX.SUPPORT.STG2.PRCSLIST'

 000023    .

 000024    DEFINE SUBSYSTEM 'S'

 000025        TO ENVIRONMENT 'ENVX'

 000026           SYSTEM 'SYSXYZ'

 000027        DESCRIPTION "TEST SUBSYSTEM’

 000028        NEXT SUBSYSTEM 'T'

 000029        DO NOT EXCLUDE DUPLICATE PROCESSOR OUTPUT CHECK

 000030    .
