JCL Samples and Dataset Descriptions

Below are JCL files and a REXX program for the IWSz Connector data collection jobs that run on the mainframe. The sample JCL is provided as a template and must be modified to include file transfer steps (e.g. Connect:Direct, Axway) to transfer the generated datasets to the IWSz Connector server.

The following sections provide information about each job, including scheduling and file transfer requirements.

We recommend that the following IWSz scheduling object definition files be transferred into one directory on the IWSz Connector server:

• defs.<date-time-suffix>
• baseobjs.<date-time-suffix>

The following IWSz event files should be transferred into a separate directory:

• events.<date-time-suffix>
• track.<date-time-suffix>
• cpop.<date-time-suffix>

The specific directory paths are not important, because they can be specified in Unify/Jaws when the IWSz scheduler is defined.

The following date/time suffixes are supported:

• yyMMdd.HHmmss
• yyyyDDD.HHmmss
• 1yyMMdd.HHmmss
• yyyyMMdd.HHmmss
• yyyyddMM.HHmmss
• MMddyyyy.HHmmss
• ddMMyyyy.HHmmss
• Custom format specified by user
