Activate CAP for Batch Jobs Submitted in Foreground

When you submit a job for batch processing from the foreground Submit Package panel, you can request concurrent action processing.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify that the SCL requests meet these requirements:
   • All elements are fully qualified; wildcarding is not used for elements.
   • On any Add, Update, or Request statements, the referenced data sets are cataloged data sets.

   Note: For more information about SCL requirements, see SCL Requirements for CAP.

2. Edit the following options on the Batch Options Menu:

   Concurrent Action Processing

   Use this field to indicate whether you want to use concurrent action processing. Valid values are Y and N. The default value when you enter the panel is N. If this feature is not enabled for your site, this option is read-only.

   Concurrent Number

   Specify the number of concurrent actions that are to be processed. The default is the SPAWNCNT value set in C1DEFLTS. If you overwrite the default and then decide you want to use the default, either type in the default value or blank out this field. Valid values are 02 through the Max number that is shown on the panel. The Max number is the value of SPAWNMAX specified in the C1DEFLTS.

   Your processing preferences are set. When you submit the job, it will be processed according to your preferences.
