APEC Startup Examples

This example starts the APEC subtask started automatically each time CTS is started, and sets the following options:

• The scanning window is 11:30pm to 3:30am
• The window performs 2 scans
• There is a 0.05 second delay between scanning chains
• The window updates the TMC directly

Add the following parameters to the CTSSTART member in hlq.CTAPOPTN:

SET TASK(APEC) PGM(TMSAPEC)
SET TASK(APEC) PARM(STIME=2330,ETIME=0330,TRUN=2,DELAY=005,UPDATE)
START APEC

This example manually starts the APEC subtask with the following options:

• The scanning window is 8:00am to 2:00pm
• The window performs 1 scan
• There is a 0.15 second delay between scanning chains
• The TMC is not updated directly - transactions for the TMSAGGR, TMSUDSNB, and TMSUPDTE utilities are created.

  F CTS,SET TASK(APEC) PGM(TMSAPEC)
  F CTS,SET TASK(APEC) PARM(STIME=0800,ETIME=1400,DELAY=015,NOUPDATE)
  F CTS,START APEC
  

In this example the APEC subtask starts automatically each time CTS is started with the following options:

• The scan starts at 10:00am every day
• The window performs 1 scan
• There is no delay between scanning chains
• The TMC is updated directly

Add the following parameters to the CTSSTART member in hlq.CTAPOPTN:

SET TASK(APEC) PGM(TMSAPEC)
SET TASK(APEC) PARM(STIME=1000,UPDATE)
START APEC

In this example the APEC subtask uses default initialization parameters each time CTS is started.

Specify the following parameters in the CTSSTART member in hlq.CTAPOPTN:

SET TASK(APEC) PGM(TMSAPEC)
START APEC
