Issue/Introduction

This procedure will allow Easytrieve Report Generator to run as a report writer for Jobtrac 11.0.

 

Environment

Jobtrac release 11.0
Easytrieve Report Generator, release 11.6

Resolution

When installing and executing  Jobtrac r11, it is recommended that Easytrieve Report Generator limited version is used for producing Jobtrac reports. If there is a separate license for the full Easytrieve Report Generator, this may be used with Jobtrac, but the following changes are needed:

For r11.6 of  Easytrieve Report Generator:
please add the following DD statement to your reports. Without this statement, your reports will return an RC=04 without an explanation.

//EZOPTBL DD DSN=easytrieve.EZOPTBL,DISP=SHR

Define a Datacom URT by running the ASMURTEZ job that was generated by your Stage 1 Jobtrac install pointing to the correct r11.6  Easytrieve libraries.

If you receive an RC=16 add the following DD statement to your reports:

//PDS DD DISP=SHR,DSN=easytrieve.CBAAMAC
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=jobtrac.CAISRC

Easytrieve 6.4 is now at EOS since December 15, 2021, but if there is Extended Support for Easytrieve 6.4 the following is the procedure.

For r6.4 of  Easytrieve Plus Report Generator:

Please turn on the Datacom option in your install and then receive and apply the FMID for  Datacom by doing the following. Please ensure that QO63004 is applied to your 6.4 SMP library.

  1. In the CAIIJMP job in the SAMPJCL PDS, please specify 'YES' for the DATACOM-OPT parameter and provide a MACLIB name for the DATACOM-MACLIB parameter. This will generate the Install JCL with the Datacom-related jobs.

  2. In the EZTPJ3 (SMP Receive) job, the Datacom Option FMID (CI36400) must be specified.

  3. In the EZTPJ4 (SMP Apply) job, the Datacom Option FMID (CI36400) must be specified.

  4. To define a Datacom URT, run the ASMURTEZ job that was generated by your Stage 1 Jobtrac install pointing to the correct r6.4 Easytrieve libraries.

Add the following DD statement to your report JCL:

//PDS DD DISP=SHR,DSN=easytrieve.CAIMAC
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=jobtrac.CAISRC
