JCL Management

You can submit jobs manually from the Windows Client, either immediately or at a scheduled time. When you create a job (JCL stream) to submit, you determine the type of job being submitted, the number of steps, and so on. The job can involve your CA GMI enabled CA product, standard IBM utility programs, your own utility programs, or any combination of these. You can also use IEFBR14 jobs for testing purposes.

Note: Currently, the Web Client does not have a JCL Management feature.

The Windows Client helps you specify substitution variables (symbolic parameters) in the sample JCL you provide, allowing you to create generalized model JCL.

CA GMI provides two options for managing your JCLs:

• The Member Editor (Submit) function
• The JCL Model List feature
