In the default configuration, direct submission of the CPU jobs is used. CA WA CA 7 Edition submits the CPU jobs by writing JCL directly to the internal reader on the CA WA CA 7 Edition host. This process is most efficient mode of CPU job submission. This method is typically used when CA WA CA 7 Edition is running in a shared spool or single CPU environment.
Also provided is an option for the indirect submission of the CPU jobs. With an indirect submission, CA WA CA 7 Edition can submit jobs to a system that does not share spool with the CA WA CA 7 Edition host. In that configuration, a file that is known as a submit data set is used to transfer JCL between CA WA CA 7 Edition and an ICOM running on another CPU. CA WA CA 7 Edition writes the JCL for the job to the submit data set. CA WA CA 7 Edition then signals that ICOM to read the JCL and write it to an internal reader there.
Note: The additional I/O and coordination that are required for this method make it a much slower and less efficient option than direct submission. We strongly recommend using direct submission where possible.
Organization
A physical sequential data set containing 80-byte records.
BLKSIZE must also be 80 bytes.
DCB=(RECFM=F,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80)
Space Requirements
One cylinder contiguous space or enough space to hold the JCL for the largest job that the data set is expected to contain.
DASD Restrictions
The submit data set must reside on a device that is shared between the CA WA CA 7 Edition host and the host of the submitting ICOM. The maximum number of submit data sets supported is six.
