Editing the CIUAFFBL job
To run the Builder, edit and run the CIUAFFBL job.
Before running the CIUAFFBL job, change the values of the parameters listed, as appropriate.
The changes you make to the job stream are similar to those described
in Updating the Affinity database
objects and are listed in the header of the JCL file.
- The JOB accounting parameters
- The PARM parameter of the EXEC statement For example:
//BUILD EXEC PGM=CIUBLD, // PARM=('STATE=ACTIVE,MATCH=LUNAME,DSPSIZE=16', // 'CONTEXT=CICPLEX1')
- [DSPSIZE={16|number}].
- Specify the size, in the range 2 through 2000 (MB), of the data space created internally by the Builder to store the group tables.
- [MATCH={LUNAME|USERID}].
- Specify the filter that CICSPlex® SM will use for workload separation, and which applies to all combined affinity groups produced by the Builder.
- [STATE={ACTIVE|DORMANT}].
- Specify whether the combined affinity groups are to be defined as active or dormant to CICSPlex SM.
- [CONTEXT=plexname].
- Specify the name, one through eight characters, of a CICSplex. If you specify this parameter, the Builder generates a CICSPlex SM CONTEXT statement, which enables CICSPlex SM to associate the combined affinity transaction groups with a particular CICSplex that it is managing. The default is to not generate a CONTEXT statement; in which case, CICSPlex SM assumes the local CICS-managed address space (CMAS).
For more information about defining transaction groups to CICSPlex SM, see CICSPlex SM Managing Business Applications.
- The STEPLIB DD statement; specify the name of the CICS® IA load library in which you have installed the Builder program, CIUBLD.
- The REPGRPS DD statement; specify the concatenation of names of the sequential data sets containing the basic affinity transaction groups to be input to the Builder. The Builder reads the lines of the input data sets and checks them for syntax and logic errors. For information about the valid syntax, see Syntax for input to the Builder.
- The AFFGRPS DD statement; specify the name of the sequential data set to which the combined affinity transaction groups are to be sent. This data set is suitable for input to CICSPlex SM.
- The SYSPRINT DD statement; specify the destination for the report output by the Builder.
