Model Processing

The components of CA‑PanAPT that perform model processing are Move Modeling, On‑Demand Modeling, Verification model processing and Retrieve processing. Members to be processed are presented in order of groups.

There are three phases of processing for Retrieve model processing:

Before processing a group, the models are processed in an INIT phase.
For each member of the group, the models are processed in a MOVE phase.
Upon completion of the group, the models are processed again in a TERM phase.

Move, Verification, and On-Demand model processing have two additional phases:

A START phase precedes the INIT phase before all groups have been processed.
An END phase follows the TERM phase after all groups have been processed.

The order in which members are grouped is:

Move Modeling (APJJ5320)

Order: Move directions (Backouts before Moves), move level (by relative position, not name), Model Base (unique for each Library Code), and Member name.
Group: Members with the same move direction, move level, and Library Code are grouped together.

On Demand

Order: The order can be specified by user, but should be sorted in Library Code or Model Base order to prevent erroneous INIT and TERM phases.
Group: Members with the same Library Code are grouped together.

Verification

Order: Library Code and Member name.
Group: Members with the same Library Code are grouped together.

Retrieve

Order: Model Base and Member name.
Group: There is no grouping. Each member is processed by all three phases.

In addition, Retrieve and Verification model processing copy leading job statements (specified on a panel during the Retrieve/Verification processing) to the submit file, which is the destination of data produced by the models. After the models have been invoked for the last TERM phase (Retrieve) or for the END phase (Verification), the JCL is automatically submitted to the system for execution. Verification model processing can be invoked multiple times in one online action if multiple Verification categories are being processed, producing a job for each category.
