How VRM Variable Definitions Are Used

The CA Workload Automation SE IBM WLM Interface uses VRM variable definitions to control the SCHENV keyword insertion.

The setting of the WLMSE keyword on the OPTIONS statement in the CA Workload Automation SE initialization file governs SCHENV keyword insertion. If N or NO is coded, CA Workload Automation SE does not attempt the SCHENV keyword insertion. WLMSE=Y or WLMSE=YES indicates that CA Workload Automation SE is to insert the SCHENV keyword. If a value other than these values is coded, CA Workload Automation SE assumes that it is a global default. The global default is inserted when CA Workload Automation SE is unable to determine a more specific value for the job.

CA Workload Automation SE scans first for an entry with a SCHID value matching the value of the job being submitted. If a match occurs, the value from the resource name is inserted on the JOB statement. If no match occurs, CA Workload Automation SE scans for an entry with a SCHID value of 0. If found, CA Workload Automation SE uses it as the SCHENV value on the JOB statement. If no variable definition with a SCHID matching the SCHID of the job being submitted is present and if no definition with a SCHID value of 0 is present, CA Workload Automation SE attempts to use the global value that is defined in the initialization file if one is available. If no global value has been defined on the WLMSE keyword of the OPTIONS statement, the job is submitted without any SCHENV keyword.
