3.1 Defining Schedules<br />
3.1.4.3 What JCL Does <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> Submit <strong>for</strong> These <strong>Job</strong>s?<br />
JCL <strong>for</strong> jobs under <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> control can be manually submitted<br />
to the reader queue, but <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> can even automate that step<br />
<strong>for</strong> you. <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> can retrieve JCL directly from<br />

However, sometimes production JCL requires editing be<strong>for</strong>e it can be<br />
submitted. Two schedule fields tell <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> where to find the<br />
JCL to submit <strong>for</strong> jobs in that schedule: STAGE JCL and LIBRARY TYPE.<br />
<strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> first determines which library contains the JCL <strong>for</strong><br />
these jobs by checking the LIBRARY TYPE. Then <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong><br />
checks to see if this JCL requires editing. Since you can override a schedule's<br />
value <strong>for</strong> STAGE JCL at the job level, <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> checks both<br />
schedule and job base records. If STAGE JCL = NO, <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong><br />
knows it can submit the production JCL directly to the CPU. However, if<br />
STAGE JCL = YES, <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> copies the production JCL into the<br />
staging library as soon as the job is selected. After that JCL has been edited<br />
and staging is complete, <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> submits the edited JCL <strong>for</strong><br />
processing.<br />
In the case where the JCL <strong>for</strong> a specific job is stored in a <strong>CA</strong>-Panvalet or OWL<br />
library, <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> will submit a batch job that is a library access<br />
job. This job will run in a partition and extract the actual job JCL from the<br />
library and submit this JCL to POWER to be run.<br />
3.1.4.4 Which CPU Should Control These <strong>Job</strong>s?<br />
The RUN ON SYSID field is used only in a multi-CPU environment. When<br />
specified within a schedule definition, the RUN ON SYSID field value<br />
designates a POWER SYSID that is then associated with the CPU that will<br />
control and submit the jobs within that schedule.<br />
Do not specify a RUN ON SYSID within a schedule definition if you have a<br />
<strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> Master/Slave, multi-CPU environment. This<br />
environment determines the controlling CPU from the <strong>CA</strong>IJGEN installation<br />
macro.<br />
