Shane you have an example of what ys did for batch processing...as what is needed and not needed from all the jcl and STUFF generated.. gather the rmfpp parms can then be altered without jumping around in the gui mess.
yes...seems strange the way it is setup...would be nice to reclac the intervals for weekly/monthly roll up reporting by the service classes.... From: Shane Ginnane <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 11/21/2012 02:53 AM Subject: Re: RMF Spreadsheet Reporter Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> Having spent several hours trying to make this product work, the only conclusion I can come to is it is an absolute farce. Totally and utterly unuseable as shipped nowadays. I, like many others on the list, have used this in the past and managed to get some graphs out after floundering around in excel. Not any more. You still get to flounder around, but the result is always the mentioned zero length file. *IF* you get that far. I set aside some time to try and get this finally working so I could publish some graphs for the masses. The GUI is useless - I was unable to ever get it to produce a batch job that was of any use at all. Period. Eventually I went for the (as in MSDOS) "batch option". Update some options, kick it off, publish the graphs. Right ... At least you get some OVW sysin that happens to produce the output you need to generate the worksheet. If you don't blow the ridiculously small space on the generated JCL, and you don't want to use date/time environment variables in filenames (as MSDOS output) ... An MSDOS bat file that goes off and calls java that produces a file to be separately fed into excel. Hello ... who thinks this stuff up ?. Lots of "fun", but I think I can get what I need sometime tomorrow. Maybe. I wouldn't even call this "broken as designed" Shane ...
