Steps for performing commit updates (scheduled)
Follow this procedure if you are using a job scheduling system for
processing msys for Setup "Commit updates" jobs.
Before you begin:
- You can only perform this task if the system properties that allow job
scheduling for commit jobs have been set (see Add a System Wizard - Job Submission and Job Submission for details).
- You can only perform this task for a service for which you are
authorized.
- The initial jobs for "Commit updates (scheduled)" must be generated
by a user who is authorized for the service to be set up.
- You require an ID with sufficient authorization on the z/OS system
where the service instance is to be set up.
- "Prepare updates" must have been performed successfully. See Setting up a software product with msys for Setup for the task overview for setting up a service.
- If your service has dependencies on other services you might need the
cooperation of other users that are authorized for these services.
Steps to perform the "Commit updates (scheduled)"
task:
- Open the "Update center" (see Updating a system configuration).
- If it is not selected, select Commit updates (scheduled) in the
task navigation area.
- Note:
- This radio button is only available if "Prepare updates" has been run
successfully.
- Click Generate jobs to generate jobs for the "Commit
updates" task.
- Ensure that Generate jobs has been performed for all
services.
If the list of services contains services for which you are not authorized,
jobs were not generated for these services. Select each service in the
list and click List authorized users. Inform one of the
authorized users that Generate jobs must be performed for the
respective service.
- Click Transfer jobs to transfer the generated jobs to the
z/OS system where they can be processed by a job scheduling system.
