Re: Coding IF statement in BPXBATCH shell

I forgot to mention. The Co:Z toolkit also provides a plethora of useful shell utilities for copying files between the MVS file system and z/OS UNIX that blow away what IBM ship with the base OS. We use them extensively where I work and at my previous company. There is also the port of SFTP

Re: Coding IF statement in BPXBATCH shell

My advice is not to use BPXBATCH, it's garbage! Run, don't walk, over to Dovetailed Softwares website and download their Co:Z toolkit. There is a batch utility called COZBATCH which allows you to run shell scripts from data sets, including inline JCL. Co:Z toolkit is free with optional paid

Well, who said it is not a problem??? It sounds like "open source is free of bugs". However I have never heard such claim. More: companies use some kind of whitelisting open source software. In many cases software developer is not allowed to use "fancy, shining code" just because there some

Hi John. I'd look a different direction myself. "All of a sudden" implies to me that something changed. So...what changed? If nothing changed on the host, I'd maybe investigate to see if an automatic (or otherwise) update has happened on the PC emulator. Just my 2 cents. Wendell

Re: Batch job elapsed time baseline and alerts

I wrote something using SDSF REXX. It was a batch job that ran at intervals and looked for any active job and grabbed the start time and compared it to current time. For non production it issued an MVS cancel. For production it would send a WTO. The overhead was quite low. On Sat, Feb 12, 2022,

I was thinking along those lines also, I know CA-7, based on prior run time can mark jobs LATE, I was not sure if the OP was wanting an alert for all batch jobs or scheduled job, which would make more sense, to alert for all batch jobs, you have to assume a jobname standard all the time and

Rather than maintaining some sort of historical database, you could consider putting the "estimated elapsed time" responsibility back on the submitter/owner of the job. A cheap and cheerful solution could be something like : (1) Agree a local naming convention for the "UJOBCORR" keyword on the

Joe's suggestion would be the easiest and if you have MXG your JOBS.DB can be used to query prior or average elapsed times, do some compare and use your automation system, like CA-OPS, in my case to send an alert based on that compare just thinking off the top of my head. Carmen On

Batch job elapsed time baseline and alerts

Esteemed listers, I have been tasked to put a procedure in place that will generate an alert when a batch job "takes longer than usual" to complete. Yes, I know, that is a rather vaguely stated requirement... I know I can find figures about the elapsed time of a batch job in one of the SMF

ICSF - crypto # to PCHID relationship

Every CryptoExpress engine has two identifiers: PCHID and number used in ICSF panels. Both identifiers can be seen in SE. PCHID number is not available in ICSF (why???) However I'm wondering how the crypto numbers are assigned. PCHID - it is determined by location of the card, as well as FICON
