Move (Turnover) vs. On Demand Modeling

On Demand Modeling is very similar to Move Modeling, but it differs in the use of system keywords and the source of the model specifications. The system keywords have the same meanings as those described in Keywords later in this chapter. The $MODELTIME keyword is O for On Demand Modeling.

Model specifications are provided through an APTSYSIN file rather than a Library Code, and only one model specification can be provided per execution. Up to twelve model specification lines can be supplied, and data can be entered in positions 1 to 75 of these records.

On Demand Modeling is typically used to extract information from a Move Request for some reason other than movement. On demand modeling can be used to generate compile and link edit JCL for members residing on test libraries, utilizing inventory for compiler and link edit parameters.

Note: The modeling process is performed during batch execution for both Move and On Demand. CA PanAPT uses On Demand modeling in the DB2 option for Validating a Move Request.
