Revolve will support certain scheduler software - Micro Focus

Using (Unicenter CA-7 Job Management) CA-7 LJOB
Revolve will support certain scheduler software. Revolve will support (Computer Associates
Unicenter CA-7 Job Management) CA-7. However, although Revolve doesn't support the LSCHID
extract report, it does support LJOB extract report. The purpose of using this file in a project is to
know when the JCL is scheduled to be run. Revolve's complete (Project/Complete) has 2 folders that
describe JCL that is used in Scheduled and Unscheduled JCL jobs. This helps the user to determine if
the JCL is to be used and if it's necessary for this particular project.
Attached to this article is a zip file (using_ca7.zip) that contains the JCL for the extraction report
and the CA7DEF.XML file that is used to parse the extraction report. There are times when the
extract report will be in a layout that the CA7DEF.XML file may have difficulty with. If this occurs,
the XML file may need to be tweaked to work with the extract report. If there are problems with the
stream file not loading properly, please contact Micro Focus SupportLine, as this may be the cause.
Producing this extract report:
Using the following JCL to extract the information (LJOBJCL.JCL is in the zip file that is attached to
this document):

To convert your CA-7 extract report to a stream file from the command line:
1. Start/Run, type in CMD
2. Map to the product's Bin directory. For example, C:\tps\bin
3. Backup the current CA7DEF.XML that is in your TPS\BIN directory.
4. Copy in the attached CA7DEF.XML that is in the zip file attached to this document.
5. At the command prompt, type:
C:\tps\bin> CA7CMD.EXE -I:[input file path] -O:[output file path].STR -M:[map file path] -
P:RVPRECA7.DLL
-I is for the input that was created from the JCL file
-O is for the new output file that Revolve will parse

-M is for the MAP file that will be used by the preprocessor
-P is for the pre-processor file that is used to convert the file to an XML file
6. Open/create a Revolve project and add the newly created output file to the Revolve project,
as a STREAM file. Since this has already been preprocessed at the command line there is no
need to add a preprocessor to the component parameters of this file.
To add your CA-7 extract report to a Revolve project directly:
1. Backup the current CA7DEF.XML that is in your TPS\BIN directory.
2. Copy in the attached CA7DEF.XML that is in the zip file attached to this document.
3. Start Revolve (if it was up and running when you changed the files, the product will need to
be restarted for the change to take effect.).
4. Create a new project in Revolve.
5. Press YES to Add Components.
6. Add the CA-7 extract report
Because the file has extension .str, leaving AUTOMATIC as the TYPE will work. If the file has
no extension or a different extension, then changing TYPE to STREAM will be necessary.
7. Press DONE and Press NO to the "Start Database load process?" dialog prompt.

8. Highlight the STREAM file:
9. Press OPTIONS icon:

Enter in the PREPROCESSOR .dll name as shown above.
10. Press MAKE icon to build the project.
11. To see the results of the preprocessor, right mouse on the stream file/GO TO will show the
XML file that was "created" by the preprocessor.
**NOTE: If when step 11 was performed the preprocessor is performed again, this means
that the option "Save Preprocessed Files" isn't turned on. Go to the Utilities/Options/Project
tab and check on the "Save Preprocessed Files" option.
