SYSOUT Allocation Intercept › Overview of the SYSOUT Allocation Intercept Interface › Automatic SUBSYS Allocations

Automatic SUBSYS Allocations

This interface automatically reroutes and converts JES2 and JES3 SYSOUT data set allocations to CA Spool SUBSYS interface allocations. When this interface is running, every SYSOUT data set allocation request to JES2 or JES3 is intercepted before the request is passed to JES2 or JES3.

If a SYSOUT data set allocation request meets the selection criteria specified in the CA Spool initialization parameters, the request is converted to a SUBSYS allocation request to the intercepting CA Spool system. The primary JES spooling system receives no notification of the intercepted or rerouted SUBSYS allocations.

The selection criteria for the SYSOUT Allocation Intercept interface can be based on output destinations or output classes. You can also define the selection criteria so that both destination and output class must match before a SYSOUT allocation is rerouted to CA Spool.

The SYSOUT Allocation Intercept interface is implemented on top of the SUBSYS interface, so all the features of the SUBSYS interface are also supported by the SYSOUT Allocation Intercept interface.

Note: The SYSOUT Allocation Intercept interface only intercepts output files; there is no interception support for SYSIN data set allocations. In addition, this interface does not intercept all CA Spool's SYSOUT allocations and SYSOUT allocations to destination INTRDR (typically used to submit batch jobs)
