Use the provided procedures to back up and restore the agent database file (ddname CA7AGNT). JCLLIB members CA07N513 and CA07N514 contain samples of the execution of these procedures. Alternately, use IDCAMS REPRO to move or reallocate this database file.
The CA7AGNT file contains agent job data from executed jobs. Remove these entries using the /DELAGENT command in CA 7. The removal of old entries prevents the file from expanding too large. The agent purges the job-related data on a periodic basis, so there is no need to keep the data in the CA7AGNT file.
If you are using the agent job interface, you can also back up and can move the CA IAS checkpoint file. Use the CA IAS CIASJCL members IASCKPBK (backup) and IASCKPRL (reload). These members use the IDCAMS REPRO utility.
If you must maintain the password, CIASJCL member IASCKPRP uses a utility. The utility extracts any passwords from the backed-up file and reloads only those entries instead of all agent and message entries. Use this process when any problems exist on the CA IAS checkpoint file.
Business Value:
This best practice results in less down time when reallocating files.
