CTMPLEX: Exploiting SYSPLEX Capabilities6.1

› What is that?– Single global, several local monitors– Distribute spool access and load among them– Communication, assignment and

Information sharing, through coupling facility

› Why– RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability), recoverability– Performance and capacity – better usage of current HW– Easier upgrade, without need for maintenance window

BYPASS

› Bypass command for scheduling waiting jobs– This is an option to allow a job to ignore pre-requisite conditions, missing

resources, etc.– The presentation in the Jobs map should reflect that a job has a bypass on it

6.1

Relative ODAT in IN/OUT Conditions6.1

9/2/2006 ©2006 BMC Software6

Future ODAT in Order

› When ordering a table or a job with a future ODAT, the job or the jobs in the table will run right when all of its pre-requisiteswill be fulfilled

› The new flag tellsBMC CONTROL-M for z/OSto run the job or the jobs inthe table in the ODAT date

› This feature is availablein BMC CONTROL-M for z/OS 6.1

AJF Space Reuse

› AJF Space Reuse– AJF management done as part of New-Day processing – Ad-Hoc jobs can be eliminated from the AJF

› Dynamic reuse of AJF space – Control the behavior of AJF freed space

• May be turned on/off dynamically– Specify the duration of jobs to be kept in AJF

• Applies only to jobs that ENDED-OK and MAXWAIT=0– When new jobs arrive they will be placed in free AJF entries– Controlled by CTMPARM (CKP section)

INSTREAM JCL

› Include the JCL control cards as part of scheduling definition› Eliminate the need to access the mainframe JCL library separately› Can also be invoked from eTrigger, EM API and EM Desktop and GUI› The In-Stream JCL will reside in the AJF,

– available for Zoom & Save

Re-Run Of Job Flow6.2

› Allow rerunning a job flow in a single command:– From AJF (screen 3)– Upstream, downstream or both– Select which jobs in the flow to rerun– The jobs conditions are automatically deleted before rerun – Rerun or restart (steps apply only to the anchor job)

Keep / Discard Resources

› Keep resources when JOB ended NOTOK / Discard when OK– When job ends NOTOK resources are automatically released– In 6.2 BMC CONTROL-M will keep resources (control and quantitative)

allocated• Release only when: re-run and ended OK, Forced OK, Deleted

– Determined throughan attribute of aresource in a specificJOB (a field in the jobdefinition per resource)

– Option to discardresources after usage

SHOW FILTER Enhancements6.2

› Following fields were added to filter:– Wait quant, Wait cond, Wait time, Wait control– Grp Active, Late– Forced OK, Grp Hold, Restarted, CM Forced, Note attached – Schedule library, CPU ID, LPAR ID

› Text field values – 2 options controlled by profile– Any string is prefix, default– Use regular expression,

• Any string used as is• For prefix use ABC*• For suffix use *XYZ

Statistics Calendar for Better Prediction6.2

› Deadline scheduling calculations are based on job statistics› Jobs’ statistics based on average elapsed time calculation› How to handle variance in elapsed time?

– Job’s elapsed time is exceptional during weekend– Job’s elapsed time

is exceptional duringend of quarter

› Jobs’ statistics areperiodically based

– Implemented throughcalendars

– 20 entries per period

9/2/2006 ©2006 BMC Software27

WLM Support: SCHEDENV6.2

› SCHEDENV– Introduced in version 6.1– Specify scheduling environment within job definition– Will submit only when SCHEDENV available

9/2/2006 ©2006 BMC Software28

WLM Support: SRVCLASS6.2

› SRVCLASS– Service class: set of parameters to determine required resources for job (CPU, I/O)– Adjust job’s service class based on

• Specific time frames (time-from, time-to)• Jobs that are late submission (late-sub-SRVCLASS)• Jobs that are late execution (late-exec-SRVCLASS)

– Will be specified globally using job prefix

Job Flow Across NewDay

› Current situationScenario 1 Scenario 2– New day at midnight (1/1/05) - Flow of jobs to run through all weekend– Job A is ordered to run at 23:00 - 2 hours Backup window is needed at – Late sub warning is required 2 hours Saturday noon

later at 01:00 the following day (1/2/05) - FROM specific time (late Saturday) – Late Sub Shout is coded to 01:00 - Late Sub warning is required for a job– At 23:00 (1/1/05) a late sub shout is that should run on Saturday evening

issued for Job A – 2 hours ahead of time› The solution

– Provide ODATE relative value • from-time, to-time• shout• due out

9/2/2006 ©2006 BMC Software36

IOA and Install plans6.3

› Installation audit – Log update sections done through ICE

› Separate installation from customization– Separation SysProg tasks from BMC CONTROL-M Admin tasks

› Installation parameters in default - Express Install – Allow Install with very few questions if All Defaults are used– Single job for all actions, for all products

› IOA Cloning – Easy replication for every LPAR– Mechanism for distribution of updates– Reports to assist in synchronizing between IOA environments

› Support sharing SMP/E Global files between multiple IOA env. – Simplify maintaining multiple IOA SMP/E environments
