Setting CAGROUP-dependent control parameters

You use the Selected CA Groups panel to set CAGROUP-dependent control parameters for each CAGROUP.

The Selected CA Groups panel displays after you select the CAGROUPS to be processed. Each row of the table represents a CAGROUP and its values as recorded in the RECON data set.

Initially, all CAGROUPS have these parameters set to the same default values.

For example:

To cancel the process and the data entries made on this panel, enter the CAN/CANCEL command. The previous ISPF user interface panel is displayed.

Use the line commands L and S to change the CAGROUP-dependent parameter values.

From this panel, you can perform many actions that affect processing of selected CAGROUPS.

Field descriptions for Selected CA Groups panel

HPCA-ID

Shows the current HPCA-ID selected.

DEFAULT VOLNUM

Provides a default value to be used for the VOLNUM parameter of each CA group when generating the DBRC GENJCL inputs. This default is applied to each selected group unless a group has been assigned an individual VOLNUM value. Providing a default is a convenient way of setting the VOLNUM for all selected groups.

CAGROUP

Displays the name of a selected CAGROUP. You cannot change this value.

PRTY

Displays the priority of performing the change accumulation. 01 is the highest priority; 99 is the lowest. You can set the priority for each CAGROUP and then sort the table by priority (see SORT command). The output from GENJCL and the processing of the CAGROUP will be in the sorted order.

REUSE

Contains information obtained from the RECON data set. It is the REUSE/NOREUSE option for the CAGROUP when the CAGROUP was registered in the RECON. N indicates that a data set will be allocated to create a new CA data set. Y indicates that the system will use the oldest of the data sets defined for the CAGROUP to create a new CA data set. The line command C is not permitted if REUSE is Y. In this case, data set allocation parameters for a new CA data set are not relevant. This field cannot be changed.

SKEL.MBR

Specify the name of the skeletal JCL execution member that is to be used by the GENJCL command. You can enter a different member name in this field; however, the member must exist in the skeletal JCL library.

VOLNUM

Specify the VOLNUM value to be used for this selected CA group. The value of VOLNUM overrides any setting for DEFAULT VOLNUM. VOLNUM 999 cancels the effect of the DEFAULT VOLNUM.

CATIME

Specify the time after which no log volumes for the selected CAGROUP are to be included. The time stamp need not be the stop time of any log volume. All log volumes that have start times less than or equal to the specified time stamp are included in the CA processing. The time stamp must be in the standard format:

yydddhhmmsst

[yy]yy|dd|hh|mm|ss|t

where:

yy (yyyy) is the year 00-99 (0000-9999)
ddd is the day (0000-365)
hh is the hour (00-23)
mm is the minute (00-59)
ss is the second (00-59)
t is the tenth of a second (0-9)
| is any non-numeric character delimiter including blank but excluding
the single quote;
if delimiter is a blank, comma or parentheses, the time stamp
must be enclosed in single quotes

Example:

CATIME is entered as '21.252 08:23:45.7'
