Implement Move Cycles

CA PanAPT lets you process multiple move processing cycles concurrently. With the Move Type field, you control the processing cycle of a Move Request.

To create a move cycle, perform the following procedure:

1. Determine which Move Type values are to be part of a cycle.
2. Assign an ID for this cycle. The ID can be from one to eight characters long and can be as simple as the single‑character Move Type. The ID must conform to OS/390 JCL naming conventions for a node name that is part of a data set name.
3. Create a copy of each of the move processing batch jobs (APJJ5310, APJJ5311, and APJJ5320).
4. In jobs APJJ5310 and APJJ5311, change the parameter MPC in procedure APJP5310 to include only the Move Types that define this cycle (for example, MPC='MBX').
5. In all jobs, change the parameter MMPCPFX for each of the procedures used in the job to specify the ID that was assigned to this move cycle in Step 2. For example, job APJJ5310 uses procedures APJP5310 and APJP5391. Specify MMPCPFX='ID' in each procedure.

For information on parameters MPC and MMPCPFX, see the Reference Guide.
