Monitored Data Output

Monitored data output is a type of report processing in which only one report is defined for a SYSOUT data set.

In monitored data output, the SYSOUT data set is written out unchanged, exactly as defined in the JCL (or as specified when the DD statement is dynamically allocated).

Note: Banner pages are not produced for monitored data output.

Although the SYSOUT data set is not modified, the report is identified and tracked, and historical data is maintained. You can also use CA View to archive the data set automatically.

Monitored data output allows you to migrate to your first implementation of CA Deliver.

• You can use CA Deliver’s utility to scan the job JCL
• You can subsequently construct and load the database with report definitions automatically.
• After the report definitions are loaded, you can track and archive reports immediately.
