Submitting a batched repository-update (BATCHREP) job

There are three steps in submitting a BATCHREP job.

To submit a batched repository-update job, you must:

Create a sequential data set or partitioned data set member to contain your input to the batched repository-update facility. The data set must have a fixed blocked format, RECFM(FB), and a logical record length of 80, LRECL(80).
If you are directing the output to a partitioned data set member, you should ensure that the data set has enough directory entries and space to successfully execute the command. Failure to do this could cause the CMAS to terminate.
Create your input, as described in Creating a batched repository-update (BATCHREP) input file.
Use one of the following methods to submit the batched repository-update job:
- Performing batched repository-update job operation in CICS Explorer®, as described in Submitting a batched repository-update (BATCHREP) job in the CICS Explorer product documentation.
- Batched repository update job WUI view, as described in Using the WUI to submit a batched repository-update (BATCHREP) job.
- Batched repository-update utility, as described in Using the batched repository-update utility.
- CICSPlex SM API to make use of the BATCHREP resource table.

Submitting a batched repository-update job that processes the same definition in quick succession may result in one or more control statements failing. In such circumstances the best procedure would be to divide the repository-update job and submit the resultant jobs sequentially.
