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
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.
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.
