This section explains how to create a JCL for startup for BCM Monitor.

The standard JCL for startup is shown below. It is registered in the sample library during installation. Change the values according to your environment.

//YKBCMMOJ  JOB                                                         
//*********************************************************************
//*

//*********************************************************************
//YKBCMMON EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,PARM=YKBCMMON,TIME=1440,REGION=4096K       
//YKMONOPT DD DSN=HDSYK.Vnnnnnn.HDSYSAMT(YKMOPT00),DISP=SHR             
//YKMONCG  DD DSN=HDSYK.Vnnnnnn.HDSYSAMT(YKMCG00),DISP=SHR              
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*                                                  
//SYSTSIN  DD DUMMY                                                     
//SYSABEND DD SYSOUT=*                                                  
//SYSEXEC  DD DSN=HDSYK.Vnnnnnn.HDSYEXET,DISP=SHR                       
//STEPLIB  DD DSN=HDSYK.Vnnnnnn.HDSYLNKT,DISP=SHR

In the sample JCL, the nnnnnn portion of Vnnnnnn varies, depending on the version.

Description

  1. EXEC statement

    Specifies the following operands:

    • TIME (CPU cut-off time). The value is 1440.

    • REGION (region size). The default is 4,096 KB, but it can be overridden to fit your system.

      To calculate this size, see Determining required memory.

  2. YKMONOPT DD statement

    Specifies the name of the dataset that contains the YKMONOPT file. For details on the format of this dataset, see the Hitachi Business Continuity Manager Reference Guide.

  3. YKMONCG DD statement

    Specifies the name of the dataset that contains the YKMONCG file. For details on the format of this dataset, see the Hitachi Business Continuity Manager Reference Guide.

  4. SYSTSPRT DD statement

    Specifies the location to output monitoring information to. SYSOUT=* is specified in the standard JCL for startup. If the DUMMY output class is assigned as the output destination class for system messages in a job that is started by using a batch job, we recommend that you specify SYSOUT=SYSOUT-class-enabled-for-output because the monitoring information is not output with SYSOUT=* specified.

  5. SYSTSIN DD statement

    Specifies DUMMY.

  6. SYSABEND DD statement

    Specifies the location to which the dump is to be output when BCM Monitor terminates abnormally. SYSOUT=* is specified in the standard JCL for startup. If the DUMMY output class is assigned as the output destination class for system messages in a job that is started by using a batch job, we recommend that you specify SYSOUT=SYSOUT-class-enabled-for-output because the dump is not output with SYSOUT=* specified.

  7. SYSEXEC DD statement

    Specifies the dataset that contains Business Continuity Manager.

  8. STEPLIB DD statement (optional)

    Specifies the dataset that contains Business Continuity Manager. If the LINKLIB dataset for Business Continuity Manager is linked to the system's LINKLIB, you do not need to specify the STEPLIB DD statement.

  9. YKLOG01 DD statement and YKLOG02 DD statement (optional)

    Specifies the log dataset to which BCM log data will be output, without using the system logger service.

    For details on specifying DD statements for BCM logs and outputting BCM log data, see the description of the BCM log output method in the Hitachi Business Continuity Manager User Guide.

Note: If z/OS V1R3 or later is running, use the JOB statement keyword to specify that the JESLOG dataset is to be output using the SUPPRESS setting.
