Batch Job Documentation System

Procedures/Online Migration Procedures


Overview

When some jobs are changed, documentation must also be changed. If documentation is changed directly, there will be a period of time when the documentation does not match the job as it exists in the production Panvalet library. An import/export facility is needed to resolve the possible mismatches.

Preparation

If documentation needs to be changed, it should first be brought into Test AIMS. This is done by using the documentation transport application (DJT). It will delete any current documentation in test and will import an exact copy of the documentation as it exists at that time in production.

Changes

Changes can then be made to the documentation under Test AIMS. If this is a new job, the job should be documented in the test environment. Normal procedures should be used to accomplish this.

Migration

When JCL is migrated into production using the TSO Migration System, any documentation for it in the test documentation system will be automatically moved into production.

Alternatively, documentation may be moved into production by using the DJT application, but in the Production AIMS environment. This will delete the old production documentation and will import the changed documentation as it exists in the test environment.

Cleanup

If manual migration is used, when the migration is complete, delete the documentation from the test environment. This is done through the DJS application. Deletion will help avoid confusion at a later time should test and production documentation differ.
