What are the DEFAULT Job Names that CA 7 use for Mainframe and Agent Jobs?

Resolution

CA 7 provides information about database processing options using special keywords in the CA 7 INIT File to minimize subsequent adding and updating of jobs definitions.

The keywords are configured on the DBAS statement in the CA 7 INIT File to control default settings for each job type.  The corresponding name can then be added to each type of CA 7 job definition. The keywords are DEFAUTAG, DEFAULTJOB, DEFAULTXPJ and DEFAULTPS.

Descriptions for each keyword are as follows:

DEFAULTAG

Default job name for all Subsequent added AGJOB jobs using the DB.11 panel. If a job is defined to the database with this name, the values for fields of this job, except MEMBER and UID, are the default values for the new job. The default job name on this panel is DEFAULTA.

DEFAULTJOB

Default job name for all subsequent added CA 7 jobs using the DB.1 panel.  If a job is defined to the database with this name, the values for fields of this job, except MEMBER and UID are the default values for the new job. The default job name on this panel is DEFAULTS.

DEFAULTXPJ

Default job name for all XPJOB jobs added using the DB.10 panel. If a job is defined to the database with this name, the values for fields of this job, except MEMBER and UID , are the default values for the new job. The default job name is DEFAULTX.

DEFAULTPS

Default job name for all PS jobs added using the PS panel.   If not specified, Personal Scheduling jobs obtain defaults from the regular default job. The default job name on this panel is DEFAULTJOB.
