JCL conversion for standard job processing

Standard job processing procedures remove the requirement for write access to a system PROCLIB or IEFJOBS library.

You can place one or more simple, read-only procedure members into a PROCLIB or JOBLIB during installation to be used by IMS HP Change Accumulation Utility. Special situations might still require the custom procedure method. Limitations of the standard procedure method are explained in the following topics.

The standard procedure method has two components:

• The IMS HP Change Accumulation Utility procedure to be placed into a PROCLIB or the IMS HP Change Accumulation Utility job to be placed into a JOBLIB.

  Whichever is chosen, the library must be accessible to JES or MSTRJCL according to the rules for z/OS® started tasks. At least one procedure or JOB is required.

  You can use more than one standard procedure or JOB to support multiple versions of IMS or IMS HP Change Accumulation Utility.

  Write access to the library or libraries is required only when entering or changing the standard procedures as part of the install process.

• The JCL created from the DBRC GENJCL.CA or equivalent process.

  Existing skeletal JCL probably requires no changes, but certain information from the generated JCL is processed differently in the standard procedure mode.

  Parameter values and DD statements from the skeletal JCL are merged into the IMS HP Change Accumulation Utility standard procedure to complete the definition of the processing environment.
