Utility Logic

Step 1.0

Get run arguments.

Step 2.0

Set defaults.

Step 3.0

Process arguments, if any.

Step 4.0

See if there are any files waiting to process. If none, sleep for a bit and try again.

Calls Step 5 for NOTIFY files. Calls STEP 6 for SMF files.

Step 5.0

Process a NOTIFY file.

The format of the NOTIFY data is:

FILE SMF smf_ft ON service_machine_id cuu IS IN UNLOAD STATUS

• Step 5.1
  Receive the NOTIFY file. Leaves the file in the reader until processing is done because, if this system comes down for any reason, processing can start from the beginning without any manual intervention. It is also relatively sure no data is lost by spooling the RDR hold.
• Step 5.2
  Link to and access the service machine SMF disk.
• Step 5.3
  Perform common steps.
• Step 5.4
  Clean up after yourself.
• Step 5.5
  All done‑return.

Step 6.0

Process an SMF file.

Step 6.1

Get DASD space for SMF file. Leaves the file in the reader until processing is complete because, if the system comes down for any reason, it can start from the beginning without any manual intervention. It is also relatively sure that data is not lost by spooling the RDR hold.

• Step 6.2
  Receive the SMF file.
• Step 6.3
  Perform common steps.
• Step 6.4
  Clean up after yourself.
• Step 6.5
  All done ‑ return.
