DB.4 Workload Documentation Panels

CA WA CA 7 Edition has six predefined major categories of documentation, each with its own unique definition panel. Within the documentation that is defined through these panels, the user can embed special user-defined segments.

You can select the appropriate panel from the DB.4 Menu display. Some separate panels are provided for the following types:

• Job documentation
• System documentation
• Network documentation
• User-designated documentation
• Data set documentation
• DD documentation

If user documentation already exists, a user program could be coded to produce Batch Terminal Interface PROSE commands. These commands with the documentation could be the input to the Batch Terminal Interface program, and the documentation could be added to the CA WA CA 7 Edition database.

Also, assume that the documentation exists as members of a PDS that is available to CA WA CA 7 Edition. In this case, the documentation could be fetched and edited using the DB.7 panel and saved in the Active Area. The user could then enter the top line DB.4 command and select the appropriate category. Next, the user can perform the EDIT function, and then SAVE the documentation to the database. Both of these methods could save the user from having to retype a long documentation description.
