Step 18--Set up QMF batch job to run batch IVP (optional)

In this step you set up a batch job for the batch-mode IVP. If you want to run this test, you must wait until Step 35--Run the batch-mode IVP (optional). If you run the test earlier, the test will fail because the procedure Q.DSQ1EBAT is not yet available.

To create a batch job:

1. Make a copy of the sample logon procedure (DSQ1EINV).
2. Add a JOB statement.

   If you are working in a RACF environment, make the value of the USER parameter the logon ID of the installer. For example, if the installer is JONES, the job statement might look like this:

   //BATCH  JOB  USER=JONES,PASSWORD=password

   where password is JONES' password.

3. Delete the SYSTERM and SYSIN DD statements.
4. Add the following statements to the end of the logon procedure:

   //SYSTSPRT DD  SYSOUT=A
   //SYSTSIN  DD  *
         PROFILE PREFIX(JONES)
         ISPSTART PGM(DSQQMFE) NEWAPPL(DSQE) PARM(M=B,I=Q.DSQ1EBAT,S=ssid)
   /*

   The first control card within the second JCL statement is optional. Use it if your installation does not have RACF. Replace JONES with the logon ID of whoever is running the step.

   The second control card within the second JCL statement invokes QMF in batch mode (DSQSMODE=B). Replace ssid with the subsystem ID of the database subsystem into which you installed QMF. If you do not specify a subsystem ID, the default, DSN, will be used. When invoked in this way, QMF invokes the procedure Q.DSQ1EBAT. After it invokes the procedure, control returns to TSO, which terminates the job because it finds no more TSO statements in SYSTSIN.

Proceed to Testing Your QMF Install.
