7.6 NJE Processing 7.6 NJE Processing NJE processing provides the ability to go beyond one data center complex. That is, you can schedule and control production at different locations (even in different cities). The different locations can have just one CPU or they may have a multi-CPU environment, though each CPU must be a node on the VTAM network. In some cases, you may want to have just interdependencies across locations properly handled. In other cases, you may want to go beyond this and have jobs at one location submitted to execute at another location. These locations are called nodes in the network of computer sites (or systems). The network consists of two or more of these interconnected systems (nodes) that participate in a VTAM communications network. Using more common terminology, a job at one node can have a predecessor at another node and Unicenter CA-Scheduler will know to wait for it. Each node will be able to schedule its own work as if it were autonomous, but when it has interrelationships with other nodes, they will be upheld properly. This is a decentralized (Master/Master) environment. Each of these Master environments (nodes) can have its own Master/Master or Master/Slave environment and may be one or more CPUs themselves that utilize shared spool. Following are some samples that describe: ■ ■ ■ Cross-node job submission Cross-node dependencies Cross-node communications. 7.6.1 Cross-Node Job Submission In a NJE environment, it is possible to have Unicenter CA-Scheduler cause work to be submitted to run on other nodes. The appropriate VSE/POWER JECL parameters (if omitted from the submitted JCL) are generated to handle this, but what you want to accomplish here is to have you understand how Unicenter CA-Sheduler operates in this environment. The following depicts the general environment that the samples will reference. 7-26 Unicenter CA-Scheduler User Guide

7.6 NJE Processing In the preceding diagram, the NODEA site is a single CPU using VSE\POWER with NJE, and CA†SCHEDULER with the NJE option activated. Each CPU is a node on a VTAM Network. Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Schedule SCHDA is defined at node NODEA with no NODE ID specified. This is the normal case and it will always be controlled by NODEA. Schedule SCHDB is defined at node NODEB with no NODE ID specified. This is also the normal case and it will be controlled by NODEB. Schedule SCHDX is defined at node NODEA with a NODE ID of NODEB. JOB1 is defined as part of schedule SCHDX and has no NODE ID specified. In this case, NODEA controls and submits JOB1. JOB1 will be routed to NODEB where it will run and NODEB will know to send its status back to NODEA for posting and control. Notice that since the NODE ID for the job was not defined, it uses the one defined for the schedule. Sample 4 Schedule SCHDX is defined at node NODEA. JOB1 is defined as part of schedule SCHDX and has a NODE ID of NODEB, which means that JOB1 is to execute on the CPU defined as NODEB. In this case, NODEA controls the schedule SCHDX. JOB1 within SCHDX, however, has a NODE ID defined which means that JOB1 will have its JCL routed to NODEB through NJE. Chapter 7. Techniques 7-27

7.6 NJE Processing<br />

In the preceding diagram, the NODEA site is a single CPU using <strong>VSE</strong>\POWER<br />

with NJE, and <strong>CA</strong>†SCHEDULER with the NJE option activated. Each CPU is a<br />

node on a VTAM Network.<br />

Sample 1<br />

Sample 2<br />

Sample 3<br />

Schedule SCHDA is defined at node NODEA with no NODE<br />

ID specified.<br />

This is the normal case and it will always be controlled by<br />

NODEA.<br />

Schedule SCHDB is defined at node NODEB with no NODE<br />

ID specified.<br />

This is also the normal case and it will be controlled by<br />

NODEB.<br />

Schedule SCHDX is defined at node NODEA with a NODE ID<br />

of NODEB. JOB1 is defined as part of schedule SCHDX and<br />

has no NODE ID specified.<br />

In this case, NODEA controls and submits JOB1. JOB1 will be<br />

routed to NODEB where it will run and NODEB will know to<br />

send its status back to NODEA <strong>for</strong> posting and control. Notice<br />

that since the NODE ID <strong>for</strong> the job was not defined, it uses<br />

the one defined <strong>for</strong> the schedule.<br />

Sample 4<br />

Schedule SCHDX is defined at node NODEA. JOB1 is defined<br />

as part of schedule SCHDX and has a NODE ID of NODEB,<br />

which means that JOB1 is to execute on the CPU defined as<br />

NODEB.<br />

In this case, NODEA controls the schedule SCHDX. JOB1<br />

within SCHDX, however, has a NODE ID defined which<br />

means that JOB1 will have its JCL routed to NODEB through<br />

NJE.<br />
