Automating discovery

You can automate repeated discoveries by using an automation product such as IBM Z® Systems Automation, or a job scheduling product, such as IBM® Z Workload Scheduler.

For example, after an IPL, the ZOSBASE book must be rediscovered to pick up changes in the PARMLIB and SYSRES.

Update the change control procedures to include the requirement of performing a rediscovery immediately after the change has been implemented. For example, immediately after a CICS® application has been rolled out, a CICS rediscovery should be performed.
