IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS applications for DFSMSrmm

The application definition implements the schedule suggested in the Scheduling DFSMSrmm utilities. In addition, EDGJLOPC includes support for events that are triggered by alerts such as the CBR3660A, CBR3792E, and CBR3794A (short on scratch) messages and the EDG2107E (journal threshold reached) message.

The applications defined in the DFSMSrmm sample IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS setup job are shown in Table 1:

Table 1. IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS applications
Application	Description
GRMMDAY	GRMMDAY is a grouping application used to set a common start time for daily jobs and applications. GRMMDAY is scheduled to run every working day of the year.
GRMMMTH	GRMMMTH is a grouping application used to set a common start time for monthly jobs and applications. GRMMMTH is scheduled to run once each month on the first Friday of the month.
GRMMWK	GRMMWK is a grouping application used to set a common start time for weekly jobs and applications. GRMMWK is scheduled to run every Monday.
RMMBKP	RMMBKP is the first daily application. RMMBKP backs up the control data set and journal data set, and clears the journal. RMMBKP is dependent on the monthly RMMMTH job EDGJVFY.
RMMEXP	RMMEXP runs expiration processing and produces scratch list reports. RMMEXP is dependent on prior daily jobs and the weekly movement processing performed by the RMMMOVES job.
RMMHKPD	RMMHKPD is the main daily inventory management run. RMMHKPD is replaced once a week with a weekly inventory management run that includes movement processing.
RMMMOVES	RMMMOVES includes jobs to: Eject system-managed volumes that are moving Produce and print movement reports Confirm volume moves once volumes have been moved RMMMOVES includes a manual action to complete a task at a workstation when volumes have been moved. RMMEXP is dependent on the completion of RMMMOVES.
RMMMTH	RMMMTH performs a monthly verify of the DFSMSrmm control data set. When you run RMMMTH, all other applications are dependent on RMMMTH running successfully.
RMMPOST	RMMPOST backs up the control data set and journal data set, and clears the journal. RMMPOST runs EDGINERS to process any new release actions.
RMMWK	The main inventory management run once each week instead of the daily inventory management application. RMMWK is dependent on RMMBKP.
RMMVRSVER	RMMVRSVER is an application that is set up only for use during recovery of the main inventory management application. RMMVRSVER is dynamically added if the EDGHSKP step fails with return code 8. RMMVRSVER runs VRSEL with VERIFY and produces a report from the ACTIVITY file.

You can use the sample job EDGJLOPC to run the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS batch loader utility to define DFSMSrmm as an application to IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS to manage the regular scheduling of DFSMSrmm functions.

Customize the EDGJLOPC sample by:

Modifying the supplied JCL to run in your environment
Tailoring and customizing the sample application definition and schedule to meet your specific needs.

Then run the sample to load the application definition to the active control file or to a VSAM file to be used with the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS subsystem.
