Issue/Introduction
Introduction:
EXPLICIT data set triggering is used in cases where a SMF 14 or 15 record is not created.
EXPLICIT data set triggering can be defined at the EVENT or APPLication level, and is satisfied by running a batch job, or a page mode command.
Background:
In some cases files are created on the mainframe that do not create SMF type 14 or 15 records.
Environment:
CA Workload Automation ESP Edition r11.4
Instructions:
The following 3 steps are needed to set up an EXPLICIT dataset trigger
1) Code init parm EXPDSTRG. This is optional since the default is NOVERIFY. See the " CA WA ESP Initialization and Configuration Guide" for more options for the EXPDSTRG parameter.
2) Create an event or Application that contains the DSTRIG xxx.yyy.zzz EXPLICIT statement.
3) Create a batch job to execute the ESPDST program. This program satisfies the explicit data set trigger. If a dataset is being created, then run the ESPDST program after the dataset is created.
1) Code init parm - The example below does not check to see if the person has access or if the file exists.
EXPDSTRG NOVERIFY
2) Create an Event
/*************************************************/
/* DEFINED BY CYBUSER AT 14.30 ON MON 5MAY2016 */
/*************************************************/
EVENT ID(CYBUSER.DSTRIG_EXPLICIT) SYSTEM(ESPS) REPLACE
SEND 'EXPLICIT DSTRIG WORKED' USER(CYBUSER)
DSTRIG ABC.DATA.SET(MEMBER1) EXPLICIT
ENDDEF
3) Create a batch job
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=ESPDST,COND=(0,LT),
// PARM='DSNAME(ABC.DATA.SET(MEMBER1)) SUBSYSTEM(ESPS)'
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CYBER.CD7YLOAD
