Generate Entire Business System in Background

This option generates the source code for each load module within an entire business system. The generation occurs completely in the background. This option is especially useful if you have copied a model from one version of CA Gen to a newer version. Changing the versions sometimes requires that you regenerate and reinstall the load modules for each business system. The option is also useful when you are ready to move your application system into production. The background generation option provides a convenient way to generate all of the load modules for a business system.

Follow these steps:

1. On the Application System Construction menu, type 7 for the Generate entire business system in background option and press Enter.

   When the Present generation option is set to Yes in the Generation Options panel, CA Gen displays the Generation Options for Business System panel.

2. Override the default values for this generation, if necessary, and press Enter to continue.

   When the Present generation option is set to Yes in the Generation Options panel, CA Gen displays the Confirm Generation of Business System panel.

3. Press Enter to accept the parameters. Click Cancel to return to the options panel.

   When the Present JCL option is set to Yes in the Generation Options panel, CA Gen displays the Update JCL for Background Generation panel.

   If you specify the Job card during installation, CA Gen displays the information in this panel.

   The Job card keyword parameter USER= may or may not be required at your site depending on the security system and how it is installed. If you receive the following message:

   USER UNKNOWN DOES NOT HAVE CE ACCESS
   

   resubmit the job with the USER= parameter.

4. Make the changes and press Enter to submit the job.

   When processing completes, CA Gen displays the Background Job JCL Submission Panel listing messages that are produced during the JCL generation. The panel can display up to 10 messages. CA Gen writes other messages to the file:

   prefix.IEF.SYSPRINT
   

   where prefix is the value set for the TIUPREF variable during host installation.

5. Press Enter to submit the job or press End to cancel submission.

   If you submit the job, CA Gen issues a TSO message indicating that the job was submitted and press Enter to return to the Application System Construction menu.

   If you do not submit the job, CA Gen displays the Application System Construction menu.
