Batch Job Documentation System

Procedures/Batch Procedures


Batch Processes

The following batch processes exist for the Batch Job Documentation System:

AU5110: Generalized Documentation Print

This batch job is an on request job. It will print documentation as requested. This job is designed to be for users who wish to print documentation for a large number of jobs. Under such circumstances, the online print capabilities are inadequate.

AU5115: List Undocumented Jobs

AU5115 is to help Production Control determine whether it has all the documentation it needs to support production scheduling. It is designated as an on request job and may be run as needed.

AU5120: Update Documentation of Z-Versions

AU5120 will update documentation of special setups (Z-Versions). It will extract job descriptions from Panvalet comments and will replace Z-Version documentation for documented jobs. It is designated as an on request job, but may be run on a regular basis if deemed appropriate. It is designed for use by Production Control.

AU5125: Update Documentation of Output Distribution

AU5125 will scan jobs in the production Panvalet library (currently PCP41) and will update information about forms, copies and output destination. This job is designated as on on request job, but may be scheduled on a regular basis if deemed appropriate. It is to be used by Production Control.

The job must scan each line of JCL in the production Panvalet library. As a result, it is very slow. Use of this job should eliminate the need for user requests to change forms, copies and routing. In the past, requests were necessary to insure that documentation stays current. AU5125 will eliminate that need.

AU5130: Application System Jobs

In can be advantageous to produce a list of all documented jobs within an application system. AU5130 requires one input parameter, the application system. This parameter must reside on the DAS table. A list will be produced of all documented jobs belonging to that application system. If subsystems are documented on the DSS table, the report will do a page break based on the application subsystem. This is designated as an on request job and may be rerun as needed.

AU5135: Application Job List (Combined)

AU5135 creates a list of all application jobs, sorted by application system. This list is avaliable under SPX through the XRF option. It should be scheduled weekly.

AU5140: Application System Jobs

AU5140 creates job lists by application system. Each defined system (see the DAS table) has its own list. These lists are accessible under SPX through the D.5 option. This job should be scheduled weekly.

Nightly Procedure

Each night the documentation files need to be backed up. The backup is accomplished through job AU5101. There is no need for the files to be closed for the backup.
