Run the REXX Analyzer

The Black Lion Telecom migration team performs the REXX procedure analysis by using the REXX Analyzer.

The team has already implemented a CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP region, NETM10, on LPAR SYSA. SYSA is in the same sysplex as LPAR SYSB, where the soon-to-be-replaced NETVIEW9 task runs.

The team takes the PDS of NetView REXX procedures prepared previously and inputs this to the REXX Analyzer using the following procedure.

To run the REXX Analyzer

  1. Enter /REXXAN.A in a CA NetMaster region.

    The Analysis Criteria panel appears.

  2. Update the fields as required, and then press F6 (Action). 
    Scan Type .............+ REXXONLY
Do you use CA-PDSMAN? .. YES   (Yes/No)

Member Details (Comma delimited)
 Include Member List ..                                                      
                                                                             
 Exclude Member List ..                                                      
                                                                             

Data Set Details
 Input Data Set ....... BLTNET.NETVIEW.PRODREXX                     
 Output Data Set ...... BLTNET.NETM10.REXXAN                        

NetView Details (REXX usage)
 System Name .......... SYSB    
 Running STC Name ..... NETVIEW9

    The Analysis Confirmation panel appears.

  3. Press F6 (Confirm).

    The analyzer analyzes Black Lion Telecom’s 200 NetView REXX procedures and writes the output to a member of BLTNET.NETM10.REXXAN.

    The REXXONLY scan type ensures that only procedures with REXX in a comment block on the first line are included in analysis processing.

    The NetView Details (REXX usage) fields are optional. Because they are filled in, a NetView REXX SHOW MEMSTAT command is sent to the specified NetView REXX started task, and the results included in the analysis report. The NetView REXX started task should be active for a while for the usage figure to be meaningful.
