2.2.4 PROTOLIB Modules


The CA MICS prototype library contains the skeleton of
CA MICS executable JCL library members.  These skeletons are
not used at execution time, but are input to the CA MICS JCL
Generation process.  Modifications to this library do not
take effect immediately.  Rather, the modified library must
be input to a new run of the appropriate JCLGEN run, and the
output of the JCLGEN run will produce JCL members with the
intended modifications.

Members in the CA MICS prototype library are generally named
according the following conventions.

    xxxxxxxx - contains skeletons of CA MICS installation
               jobs, operational jobs, or support function
               jobs.  The name of the member is an
               abbreviation of the function of the generated
               unit.  One example is the CA MICS database
               backup utility, whose skeleton member's name
               is BACKUP.

    ttcccsss - contains component-related skeleton members
               needed for building CA MICS operational jobs.
               These modules are named according to the job
               in which they are used, where the 'tt' part of
               the name takes the values:

               DY - module is used in the DAILY job
               WK - module is used in the WEEKLY job
               MN - module is used in the MONTHLY job
               YR - module is used in the YEARLY job

    cccxxxxx - contains skeletons for JCL and logic related
               to the 'ccc' component's execution in all
               database units (e.g. SMFIUALC).

Legend:
   ccc      - a valid component identifier
   sss      - the number of a step in a CA MICS operational
              job
   xxxxxxxx - an abbreviation of the function of the module.
