Creating the runtime environment members and jobs

To create the members and jobs that complete the creation of the runtime environment (RTE), you run the $PARSE job (or $PARSESV if variable support is enabled). This job generates a set of jobs that extract the profile parameter values specified during set up and in the configuration profiles. The jobs then generate the runtime environment (RTE) members and jobs required to complete the creation of the RTE.

About this task

The composite $PARSE/$PARSESV job processes the PARMGEN templates from the interim (IK*) staging libraries into the corresponding work (WK*) output libraries. The job performs the string substitutions and embeds required by the user overrides in the PARMGEN configuration profile member. Part of this job's function is to create runtime members and file-tailored jobs in the work output libraries. After completion of the $PARSE* job, you have a complete set of customized runtime members in the work output libraries (WKANCMDU, WKANPARU, WKANSAMU (additionally, WKD2PAR, WKD2PRF, and WKD2SAM if OMEGAMON® for Db2® Performance Expert on z/OS® or OMEGAMON XE for Db2 Performance Monitor on z/OS is configured in this RTE).

Procedure

From the Quick configuration Workflow - Primary Options Menu, select Create the RTE members and jobs.

The $PARSE/$PARSESV: Create the RTE Members and Jobs panel (KCIP@PR1) is displayed.

Option ===>                                                                    
                                                                               
Select option 1 to SUBMIT the full $PARSE job in WCONFIG for   RTE=SYSA.     
$PARSE composite job creates product runtime members and jobs in    all the    
PARMGEN WK* work libraries. 
Tips:                                                   
o: Press F5 to access the library-specific $PARSE* jobs (ideal in an RTE    
   reconfiguration scenario). First-time RTE deployment must run $PARSE.    
o: Select R to submit the KCIJPUP1 job to refresh the IK* product and 
   WCONFIG *$IBM profiles before recreating the runtime members.   
                                                                              
Enter ns (1s-2s) for detailed job/task status.                                 
                                                                               
                   Description                    Job Name   Status     Date   
   ---------------------------------------------- -------- --------- ----------
R  Refresh IK* templates/WCONFIG *$IBM profiles.  KCIJPUP1    
                                                                          
1. Create runtime members/jobs in all WK* libs.   $PARSE    
                                                                               
Press F1=Help for more information.  Type UTIL to access utility menu.

Select option 1 to submit the composite job.
If you want to create (or recreate) only certain runtime members, press F5 for a menu of the individual jobs submitted by the composite job.
Tip: Note that the library-specific $PARSE%% jobs regenerate the runtime members in the PARMGEN work libraries (such as WKANPARU and WKANCMDU, and so on) because PARMGEN supports a staged deployment and does not update the running production user libraries and execution libraries (such as RKANPARU and RKANCMDU). You must then run the WKANSAMU(KCIJPW2R) job to deploy runtime members from the WK* libraries to the RK* production user libraries. However, if you want to update the production user libraries directly, without having to run KCIJPW2R, update the SYSUT2 DD to point to RK* instead of the WK* PARMGEN work libraries.

To view a list of all the variables (symbolics) used in the RTE, select option 2.

Results

The runtime members and jobs are created.

What to do next

Submit the jobs to complete the set up of the RTE.
