You can create, update, remove, or review multiple definitions in the data repository by
submitting a batched repository-update (BATCHREP) job in CICS Explorer®.
Before you begin
Before submitting a BATCHREP job, you must have an input file and a data set or partitioned data
set member to contain it. See Submitting a batched repository-update (BATCHREP) job in CICS® TS documentation.
You must connect to a WUI server of a CICSplex through a CMCI connection. Single CICS region (SMSS) or SM Data connections are not supported. To apply updates to a particular data repository, ensure that your WUI server is connected to the CMAS that is associated with the data repository you want to update.
Procedure
- Open the Perform Operation dialog in either of the following
ways:
- In the SM Administration perspective, click
from the menu.
- In the CICS SM perspective, navigate to the CICSplex
Repositories view and click the Submit Batched Repository-Update
Job icon (
) on the toolbar.
-
In the Perform Operation dialog, enter the following information:
- Data Set Name
- Specify the name of the sequential or partitioned data set (PDS) containing the input to the
batched repository-update job. The drop-down list stores the last 10 values submitted.
- Member Name
- When using a PDS, specify the name of the member that contains the input to the batched repository-update job. If your CICS Explorer is connected to a z/OS® connection, the drop-down list shows available members for the specified data set, prioritizing any that you previously used. If your CICS Explorer does not have a z/OS connection already, you can connect to or define one in the Connection field:
.
- Print Class
- Optional. Specify a 1-character class designation. If not specified, class A is used.
- Print Node
- Specify the 8-character identifier of a designation node that the system spooler is to use to
route the file.
- Destination User ID
- Specify the 8-character identifier of the eventual writer program or of the user who will
process the report for spooled records that are intended for the printer. The report will carry this
identifier, which will be used to select the report at its destination.
- If you want to check the command format of all the input statements of the batched
repository-update job instead of executing it, select the Dry run
checkbox.
- Click OK to submit the job.
