How to: Validate PARMGEN profile parameter values

The KCIJPVAL job validates the parameter values in PARMGEN profile. The job can be run either as a standalone job from the Utilities panel, or be invoked from $PARSE or $PARSESV job in the WCONFIG library.

About this task

To validate parameter value settings in customer override CONFIG profile members, you need to run the KCIJPVAL job. The job is included in $PARSE (Create runtime members and jobs in WK*) job and $PARSESV (Create runtime members and jobs in WK*) job (if System Variables is enabled in the RTE). If the VALDATE step gets a condition code greater than 4 (COND CODE 0004), the remaining steps in $PARSE job will not be executed unless you correct all the errors in $VALRPT. You can also run the KCIJPVAL job outside $PARSE from the Utilities panel as a standalone job.

Procedure

  1. On the command line of panel PARAMETER GENERATOR (PARMGEN) Workflow - Primary Option Menu (KCIPQPGB), type UTIL to enter the Utilities panel.
  2. Select the option 23 (Validate PARMGEN profile parameter values) to run the KCIJPVAL job.
  3. Review the job information and submit the job. The job generates a Parameter Validation Report in hilev.rte.WCONFIG($VALRPT).
  4. After the job is completed, check the condition code that is returned.
    If the condition code is greater than 4 (COND CODE 0004), you need to go over the validation report and correct the errors.
    1. On the command line of the Utilities panel, type 23s to see the $VALRPT validation report.
      The validation report contains the following four sections:
      • Parameter Validation Errors.
      • Parameter Values Changed from Defaults.
      • Components Configured in this RTE.
      • Parameter Validation Errors.
    2. Review the errors listed in section 1 and section 4 of the validation report and correct the parameter values.
    3. Resubmit the KCIJPVAL job.
