Using the REXX Procedures and Batch Jobs

The first thing you must do is customize REXX procedures and batch jobs as detailed in the next sections. This process consists of

• Defining site specific variables within REXX procedures
• Replacing character strings in jobs with your site specific qualifiers (if this was not done during installation)
• Reviewing the scheduling requirements of each job so that each job can be integrated into your scheduling system

It is recommended that all batch jobs be scheduled to run on a daily basis.

Before executing the batch jobs, you should invoke the online dialog and define all general parameters. Failing to do so causes the batch jobs to end without performing their functions correctly. For details about defining user parameters, see PMA Parameter Administration.
