Pointer Verification Parameters

The PARM or DBVPARM DD statement parameters available to request pointer verification are as follows:

IDSVERFY

Verifies logical pointers for data sets, networks, and documentation members to the database Index Data Set (IDS) entries.

NWSCHD

Verifies that a one-to-one relationship exists between CA Workload Automation SE networks having schedules and the schedules themselves.

JOBSCHD

Verifies that a one-to-one relationship exists between jobs having schedules and the schedules themselves.

ALLVSAM

Indicates the organization used for the CA Workload Automation SE database. ALLVSAM indicates the database is totally VSAM as defined in the control statements residing in the DBPARMS data set.

Note: For details on the contents of the DBPARMS data set, see the Systems Programming Guide.

The same values used in the UCC7DBASE statements when the database was last loaded must be used here also to ensure correct access to the ALLVSAM database.

The parameters must appear in the execution JCL in either of the following formats:

PARM='ALLVSAM[,IDSVERFY][,NWSCHD][,JOBSCHD]'

-or-

//DBVPARM DD *
ALLVSAM [,IDSVERFY][,NWSCHD][,JOBSCHD]

When using the DBVPARM DD, the parameters must start in column 1.

The following is a sample of the pointer verification JCL:

//CA7DBVR  JOB  accounting info, etc.
//DBVR     EXEC PGM=UCC7DBVR,PARM='dbvr keywords'
//STEPLIB  DD   DISP=SHR,DSN=user-defined-CA-7-loadlib
//DBVOUT   DD   SYSOUT=A
//SYSUDUMP DD   SYSOUT=A
//UCC7IDS  DD   DSN=user-defined-Index-data-set,DISP=SHR
//UCC7JLIB DD   DSN=user-defined-Job-data-set,DISP=SHR
//UCC7DLIB DD   DSN=user-defined-Dataset-data-set,DISP=SHR
//DBPARMS  DD   DSN=all-VSAM-data-base-parms,DISP=SHR
//*
//DBVPARM  DD  * (or DD DUMMY if PARM used on EXEC statement)
database verification keywords go here or in PARM
/*
//

Note: A STEPCAT DD statement may be needed. If so, it follows immediately after the DBVR EXEC statement.
