Job APCXJLIB

Job APCXJLIB has the following functions:

• Detect modified programs included within the scope of work defined for Performance Management Assistant and CA Mainframe Application Tuner
• Interpret JCL for job name, step name, procedure step name, and JCL/application program name within the Scope of work
• Maintain the Scope, CA MAT Scope, and TOP Scope of work on the product database
• Prepare CA MAT measurements for all scheduled jobs that have a pending measurement request (alert) in PMA

Job APCXJLIB has the following scheduling considerations:

• Execution should be late in the afternoon, allowing enough time so the job ends before your batch window starts. It is important that this job does not start too early, otherwise Performance Management Assistant does not pick up your last minute program modifications.
• One execution is performed for all MVS images sharing the same LOADLIBs and JOBLIBs.
• One execution of this job per each Performance Management Assistant installation is performed.
