Generating customization jobs

Before you begin

You must complete the process of Defining variables, which is outlined in Defining variables. If you have not done so already, fill out the worksheet provided in Generate customization jobs - worksheet for each main task in the Customization Dialog before proceeding.

Why and when to perform this task

This article describes how to complete the "Generate customization jobs" option that is in all of the main tasks you can perform.

Recommendation: When you have finished entering all your customization data, before you generate the customization jobs, use the "Save customization variables" option to save your customization variables for future reference.

Steps for this task

  1. On the main Dialog panel, type the appropriate number in the Option field to select "Generate customization jobs".
  2. Press Enter.

    Result: If all variables are defined correctly, you see the Specify Job Cards panel, which looks similar to this:

    -----------------     WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Customization      ------------------
    Option  ===>                                                               
                                                                                  
    Generate Customization Jobs                                                   
                                                                                  
     This portion of the Customization Dialog generates the jobs you must         
     run after you complete this Dialog process. You must complete the            
     customization process before you generate the jobs with this step.           
     If you have not done this, please return to that step.                       
                                                                                  
     Jobs and data files will get generated into data sets:                       
       'hlq.CNTL'                                                     
       'hlq.DATA'                                                     
     If you wish to generate customization jobs using other data sets, then       
     exit from this panel and select option 1 (Allocate target data sets).        
                                                                                  
     All the jobs that will be tailored for you will need a job card.             
     Please enter a valid job card for your installation below. The               
     file tailoring process will update the job name for you in all the           
     generated jobs, so you need not be concerned with that portion of            
     the job cards below. If continuations are needed, replace the                
     comment cards with continuations.                                            
                                                                                  
     Specify the job cards, then press Enter to continue.                         
                                                                                  
     //jobname  JOB (ACCTNO,ROOM),'userid',CLASS=A,REGION=0M                      
     //*                                                                          
     //*                                                                          
     //*                                                                          

    Note: Pay particular attention to the displayed target data sets.

  3. Fill in the job card information using the Generate customization jobs worksheet, then press Enter.

Results

You are done when all the jobs are generated. You may then move ahead to viewing the generated jobs.

Recommendation: After you finish running your customization jobs, save all of the generated jobs for future reference. If you later choose to migrate your configuration to a later release, for example, you might need to use one of these saved jobs.
