System Extensions Parameters

The parameter field on the EXEC statement in the start procedure JCL (or specified as an override on the start command for starting system extensions) passes parameters for the data set security and automatic report archival features of the system extensions.

The format of the parameter field is:

PARM='index,jobclass/sysclass/archclass/archdest/archform/archmedia,'

Where

Index

Specifies the high-level index (one or more qualifiers are separated by periods with a maximum length of 17 characters) of the CA View data sets for which data set security is activated

If you do not want to activate the data set security feature, omit the index from the parameter field (note that index is positional and its absence must be indicated by coding the comma that follows).

After the data set security feature is activated, any program (other than CA View) that has not been marked in the program properties table to bypass password protection is restricted from accessing any data set whose name begins with the specified high-level index.

Where

jobclass/sysclass/archclass/archdest/archform/archmedia

Specifies a set of specifications used to select and archive reports for the automatic archival feature. You can code up to four sets of specifications in the parameter field (indicated by the ellipses). A set of specifications is comprised of six elements, each of which is separated from the next by a slash "/." The meaning of each element is described as follows:

jobclass

Specifies 1 to 8 job execution classes for which reports are automatically archived

You can specify an asterisk to indicate all job classes.

sysclass

Specifies 1 to 8 SYSOUT classes for which reports are to be automatically archived

You can specify an asterisk to indicate all SYSOUT classes.

archclass

You can use the SYSOUT class to create an additional SYSOUT data set for the report that is spun-off for archival

You can omit the element or can specify an asterisk to indicate that the default SYSOUT class (MSGCLASS for the job) is used to create the spin-off data set.

archdest

Specifies the destination used to create an additional SYSOUT data set for the report that is spun-off for archival

You can omit the element or can specify an asterisk to use the system default destination.

archform

You can use the forms name to create an additional SYSOUT data set for the report that is spun-off for archival

You can omit the element or can specify as an asterisk to use the system default forms name.

archmedia

Specifies the media used to archive the SYSOUT

Specify D to archive the SYSOUT to disk, or T to archive the SYSOUT directly to tape.

If omitted, the SYSOUT is archived to disk.
