Resolution

 JOBTRAC Job Management and Datacom/AD MUF know which IXX0161, EVT0161, OPT0161, HIS0161 and STG0161 files to use based on the CXX dataset used by the Datacom/AD MUF.

During the STAGE2 job from the Jobtrac  install, the DDCATC step catalogs Database 0161. This step is followed by the INITDB step that allocates and initialize the IXX0161, EVT0161, OPT0161, HIS0161 and STG0161 files. These are associated with a CXX dataset that will have these datasets imbedded within that particular CXX dataset.

The CXX dataset is referenced in the Datacom/AD MUF started task. As long as the Datacom/AD MUF that Jobtrac JM uses points to the correct CXX dataset,  Jobtrac  will access the files imbedded in it. You can run a CXX report using the following JCL to see the files that Jobtrac  will access via the CXX used with your  Datacom/AD MUF:

//CXXRPT     EXEC PGM=DBUTLTY,REGION=4096K
