Configuring IBM AD Connect for Mainframe for Serena Changeman Source Retrieval

How To


Summary

The IBM AD Connect for Mainframe started task retrieves source files from Serena Changeman by submitting a user configured batch job via the internal reader. The sample JCL for this batch job is provided in member IAYXMLRQ of the SIAYSAMP SMP/e distribution library. See Figure 1 below.
Prior to AD release v5.1.0.2 , the XMLIN and XMLOUT dataset names referenced in IAYXMLRQ had to be a specific length. This was due to a restriction in the code that appended the subtask number to the dataset name at a fixed offset. The last character of the XMLIN dataset name had to be on column 43 and the last character of the XMLOUT dataset name had to be on column 44.
With the release of IBM AD Connect for Mainframe, v5.1.0.2 , this restriction has been removed. The dataset name can be any valid length and the final character can occur at any column offset that is valid within the syntax rules for JCL.

Additional Information

The PTF for IBM AD Connect for Mainframe v5.1.0.2 is UI61921 and comes as part of the AD 5.1.0.2 installation. This PTF should be applied on top of FMID HALT510.
The fix has also been retrofitted to IBM AD Connect for Mainframe v5.0.5.*. The PTF for this is UI60938 and should be applied on top of FMID HALT505.
