How You Change a CPU Job

The basic way to change the characteristics of a job, which appear on the DB.1 panel, is to use the UPD function. However, you can make wholesale changes to many jobs using the Batch Terminal Interface (BTI) facility.

Note: For more information about BTI, see the Interface Reference Guide.

The database information must always agree with the JCL for the job. Therefore, whenever permanent changes are made to the JCL, resynchronize the database with new JCL. The CA WA CA 7 Edition LOAD process accomplishes this process, and you can handle it in one of several ways.

• Manually issue a LOAD command after the JCL has been changed.
• Set the RELOAD value on the DB.1 panel to Y if the change is made outside of CA WA CA 7 Edition (for example, through TSO).
• Make any permanent changes to the JCL through the DB.7 panel. This method causes the RELOAD field on the DB.1 panel to be set to Y automatically.

Note: The DB.3 panels establish dependency relationships for CPU jobs, workstation networks, and so forth, thereby defining prerequisites. Whenever the JCL changes for any job, consider whether those changes affect the dependency relationships for the job.
