3.9 Defining Jobs
However, sometimes production JCL requires editing before it can be
submitted. STAGE JCL fields on the schedule and job base records identify
which jobs have JCL that requires editing before submission. Again, the value
of STAGE JCL on the job record overrides the one defined for the schedule. If
STAGE JCL = YES, Unicenter CA-Scheduler copies that job's production JCL
into the staging library when the job is selected. You can then define an
EARLIEST START TIME that allows plenty of time to edit the staged JCL
before this job is submitted. Or you can ensure that the JCL has been edited
before submission by defining another record for this job at station 39 (JCL
setup). Defining a job record for station 39 guarantees that Unicenter
CA-Scheduler will not submit this job for processing until that JCL has been
edited and staging is complete.
In the case where the JCL for a specific job is stored in a CA-Panvalet library,
Unicenter CA-Scheduler will submit a batch job that is a library access job.
This job will run in a partition and extract the actual job JCL from the library
and submit this JCL to POWER to be run so that this JCL may not be staged.
Once the JCL is staged, you can use a variety of editor commands to prepare it
for submission. In addition to usual text editing, you can perform some
special functions within the editor:
■
■
■
Expansion of Unicenter CA-Driver procedures embedded in the JCL
Display of current values of all Unicenter CA-Driver reserved-name
variable parameters in the JCL
Change of values of any Unicenter CA-Driver reserved-name variable
parameters in the JCL
For detailed explanations of the editor commands, see the appendix "Editor
Commands" of the Unicenter CA-Scheduler Reference Guide Part 2.
3.9.3.6 On Which CPU Should Jobs Be Run?
Unicenter CA-Scheduler uses three fields on both schedule and job base
records to record where jobs run:
■
■
■
NODE ID
NODE SYSID
RUN ON SYSID
Whether you need to define these fields depends on the CPU configuration at
your site:
If You
Only have one CPU
Do This
Leave all three fields blank on both schedule and
job records.
