Automating AMT Generation

You can generate an AMT manually or automatically. AMTGEN is a sample CA Ideal program available from the CA Support website. This program generates an AMT that includes an entry for each production program and panel in a system that you specify. You can modify this program to meet other specifications you might want to adopt at your site or you can use an entirely different program that generates this data.

The program AMTGEN is provided in external source format. You must use the CA Ideal source transport utility to import this application.

You can automate the generation of an AMT. CA Ideal distributed a sample application to generate AMTs for all the programs and panels in an entire CA Ideal system definition. CA Ideal member AMTGEN contains JCL to run the application.

Execute the CA Ideal program, AMTGEN, passing the name of the selected system as a parameter to the AMTGEN program, as shown in the following RUN command:

RUN AMTGEN  VERSION PROD PARM '@IC'

The AMTGEN program produces the following output:

• A list of all program and panel module entries in the dictionary that are in the specified system.

To assemble the load module table @ILMLIST, perform the following tasks:

• Assemble the card-image file of module entries produced in Step 1 to create the AMT (application module table). The application module table is named @ILMTsss, where sss is the system ID of the program specified to the AMTGEN program. To specify a different suffix, set the parameter to the appropriate three-character name on the control card for the AMTGEN program.
• Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each application in the CICS region.
• Edit the LMTGEN statement in the jobstream in source member LMLSTASM to include the three-character suffixes of the application load module tables and then submit the member LMTASM to assemble the load module table @ILMLIST.

Notes:

• All @ILMTsss modules and the @ILMLIST module must be in a library accessible to the CICS or batch region.
• If your site has CA Datacom Database Resource Analyzer Option, the Application Module Table @ILMTDRA must be an entry in @ILMLIST.
• For ease of maintenance, each application LMT should match one RDO group for PPT entries which lets you isolate changes and group them easily.
