Creating a scheduled task for the ZAGENT file

To run the ZAGENT file automatically, you can create a scheduled task.

Procedure

Run the following command to create a scheduled task:

$TA,T=HH.MM,I=SSSS,'$VS,''S J,J=ZAGENT,L=Dataset_name'''

T: The value of the T parameter is the system time that you want to run the ZAGENT file.
I: The value of the I parameter specifies the interval of the scheduled running in seconds.
J: The value of the job parameter J is ZAGENT. This parameter and the location parameter L determine the scan job that is ready to be executed.
L: The value of the location parameter L is the name of the dataset where you put the ZAGENT file. This parameter and the job parameter J determine the scan job that is ready to be executed.

For example, if you create the following scheduled task,

$TA,T=22.00,I=3600,'$VS,''S J,J=ZAGENT,L=TOOLS.AMEX.JCL'''

The system will start the ZAGENT job ZAGENT at 22:00 and run the job again every 1 hour. Make sure to clear the job log in time to avoid full storage.
