RMORAP - Activating and Deactivating Reports from Batch

The RMORAP utility can be used to activate or deactivate reports from a batch job or started task. An active report is one that is scheduled to be produced during the current daily cycle. RMORAP is designed to accept input data directly from any of the job scheduling systems available.

Two types of data can be input to the utility:

• A list of job names

  When given a list of job names as input, the program activates/deactivates all the reports produced by the specified jobs.

• A list of report identifiers

  When given a list of report identifiers as input, the program activates/deactivates only those specific reports.

When both types of data are input to the program at the same time, both types of activation/deactivation are done. When a report to be bundled is activated/deactivated, the bundles for the report are also activated/deactivated. For RMORAP requests, the job does not complete until the actual update of the checkpoint has occurred.

Important! If you are using an authorization security exit or table and you try to activate/deactivate a report for which you are not authorized, the message "AUTHORIZATION FAILED" displays in the message area.

Reports can be automatically activated at the start of each new daily cycle through the RMORAP program by doing the following steps:

1. Create the start procedure JCL.
2. Specify the name of the start procedure with the START initialization parameter statement.

Create all input data to the procedure before you want to automatically start the procedure.

Important! The started task must be executing on the same operating system as all batch and online facilities that access checkpoint data detail and historical data, and facilities you use to delete definitions for these batch and online facilities to work.
