Step 5: Tailor the CA CPM Server Task

CCPMPROC member CPMSRVR contains the JCL procedure for the CA CPM started task. This member must be in the SYS1.PROCLIB concatenation and updated with the correct data set names.

The parameter OPTLIB points to a series of commands that are executed when the CA CPM Server task begins. Copy member CPMOPTS from the CA CPM CCPMPARM data set to another data set, then review the commands, changing as necessary for your site.

A CPMSRVR task is required on each system where a job management product (CA Workload Automation SE, CA Scheduler, or CA Jobtrac) will be submitting jobs. For CA Workload Automation SE, this is the same system where the CA Workload Automation SE started task (CA7ONL) executes. For CA Scheduler, this is the MCPUSUB system. For CA Jobtrac, this is the primary submission system. A CPMSRVR task is not required on other systems, even if jobs submitted by the job management product execute on those systems.

Each CPMSRVR task needs its own checkpoint data set. CCPMJCL member CPMCKPT allocates a checkpoint data set. Execute this job once per checkpoint data set. This job should end with a return code of zero.

The CPMSRVR task may also need additional DD statements for the specific mainframe job management (scheduling) product being used. See the following sections for information relevant to your site.
