Initialization Parameters › Initialization Parameter Examples

Initialization Parameter Examples

The following sample jobs process initialization parameters.

Example 1

A new database has its initialization parameters set for an archival and retrieval system with the following characteristics:

• The database has been created with the SARDBASE utility under the name VIEW.SYSTEM1.
• For classes P and Q, all SYSOUT is archived.
• Archival is to disk, and the backup cycle is automatically initiated every day except Sunday.
• The expiration date for tapes is 99000.
• Five generations can be backed up to the same tape.
• All SYSOUT (both classes P and Q) is printed as class A.
• Four generations are maintained on disk.
• 100 generations are maintained on tape.
• Exceptional condition messages are assigned routing code 14.
• The backup cycle is initiated at 5:00 p.m.
• The SYSOUT is automatically printed if an exceptional condition occurs.
• Scratch tapes are used.
• Defaults are used for everything else.

The following job is run to set the initialization parameters:

//EXAMPLE1 JOB ACCOUNT,PROGRAMMER
//INIT     EXEC PGM=SARINIT
//STEPLIB  DD  DSN=CAI.CVDELOAD,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  *
NAME=VIEW.SYSTEM1
CLSL=PQ
DAYS=YYYYYYN
EXPDT=99000
MAXGENT=5
NEWCLSL=AA
NGEND=4
NGENT=100
ROUT=14
TIME=1700
XPRINT=YES
//

Example 2

The current generation of SYSOUT is automatically microfiched by start procedure SARMFP after backup to tape. The SYSOUT groups are sorted as follows:

• Descending order by user accounting data, positions 11 to 20
• Descending order by user accounting data, positions 1 to 10
• Ascending order by job name
• Ascending order by job ID

The following job is run to modify the initialization parameters:

//EXAMPLE2 JOB ACCOUNT,PROGRAMMER
//INIT     EXEC PGM=SARINIT
//STEPLIB  DD  DSN=CAI.CVDELOAD,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  *
NAME=VIEW.SYSTEM1
MSORT1=-U11:20
MSORT2=-U1:10
MSORT3=JNAME
MSORT4=JID
START=SARMFP
//

Example 3

Expanded retention parameters are set to retain five copies of all marked SYSOUT and to define special text for determining SYSOUT identifiers:

//EXAMPLE3  JOB ACCOUNT,PROGRAMMER
//INIT      EXEC PGM=SARINIT
//STEPLIB   DD  DSN=CAI.CVDELOAD,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT  DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN     DD  *
NAME=VIEW.SYSTEM1
POPT=M
PCOPIES=5
PTEXT1='PROGRAM-ID.'
PTEXT2=-':'.'PROCEDURE'.'MAIN'
PTEXT3='***ID='
PTEXT4='SYSLMOD'.'DSN='.'LIB('
//

Example 4

An existing index file has its parameters displayed:

//EXAMPLE4 JOB ACCOUNT,PROGRAMMER
//INIT     EXEC PGM=SARINIT
//STEPLIB  DD  DSN=CAI.CVDELOAD,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  *
NAME=VIEW.SYSTEM1
//
