Resolution

Examples of Auditor batch are unique to the environment that Auditor is installed on. The following provides an overview of Auditor batch setup and processing and step be step details on how to create a sample Batch script for your environment. 

The Batch Job facility requires that you create, modify, and submit JCL to execute a batch job. The JCL tells Auditor what options you selected. These options describe the order in which you want to perform particular Auditor functions. The output of the batch job is routed to the destination of your choice (SYSOUT or a data set on disk).

Auditor in batch runs the same way as Auditor online. The batch JCL establishes the background TSO environment and executes CLISTs to start ISPF/PDF and Auditor in batch. Each of these programs (TSO, ISPF/PDF, and Auditor) requires certain data sets, which are normally allocated through CLISTs and your TSO logon procedure in an online environment. Before Auditor can run in batch, you must execute Auditor online at least once so that it can create your batch JCL using these data sets.

See Batch Options  for details on step by step Auditor batch setup.   Refer to the following sections:
