Issue/Introduction
Utilizing CA JMR to spool output from the JES spool. Getting ready to startup a new LPAR and share all catalogs, dasd, and JES spool between the LPARs. Can CA JMR be setup to collect output from the shared spool from the additional LPAR?
How does CA JMR spool output from a shared JES spool from multiple LPARS?
Environment
Resolution
To setup CA JMR to spool output you setup the CA JMR started tsk (STC) to collect all the correct output class definitions. If you are utilizing a "shared" spool then all the same rules apply regarding collection classes.
EXAMPLE from the startup proc provided in CAIPROC(CAPKJMR):
/CAPKJMR PROC REG=1024K,
/ AUTOSTOP='N', /* MODIFY */
/ CLASS='L', /* MODIFY */ -----> You can stack the class designations
EXAMPLE with multiple designations:
// CLASS='AHOZKSXB', /* MODIFY */ ----> This example shows many output classes being spooled
Since the JES spool is being shared, CA JMR will not be able to determine that the output is coming from a different system. As long as the output class designations are correct in the startup proc all should be good.
In the ISPF panels when you are reviewing the output selected you will see what system the output was spooled from.
EXAMPLE
CMD Jobname Jobno Date Time System Error Highest
Cond Code
BLAJO02V 6221 17/04/20 12:04:19 DE22 ABEND=S013 ------> Notice the DE22 under the System label
BLAJO02O 6242 17/04/20 12:44:16 XE76 ABEND=S0C4 -------> Notice the XE76 under the System label
You should remember that the output job class is the key to watch for when you start the CA JMR system within the multi-LPAR environment.
