Changing a Job in Ca7

Changing a Job

  The basic way to change a job’s characteristics, which appear on the DB.1 screen, is to use the UPD function.

However, you can make wholesale change to many jobs using the Batch Terminal Interface(BTI) facility.

The database information should always agree with the JCL for the job. Therefore, whenever permanent changes are made to the JCL, you should resynchronize the database with new JCL. The CA-7 LOAD process accomplishes this, and you  can handle it in one of several ways.

·         Manually issue a LOAD command after the JCL has been changed

·         Set the RELOAD value on the DB.1 screen to Y if the change is made outside of CA-7(for example, through TSO).

·         Make any permanent changes to the JCL through the DB.7 screen .This causes the RELOAD field on the DB.1 screen to be  set to Y automatically.

NOTE: The DB.3 screens establish dependency relationships for CPU job,  workstation  network, and so  forth, thereby defining prerequisites. Whenever the JCL changes for any job, the user must consider whether those changes affect the dependency relationships for the job.
