FileSystem Event
A standard functionPre-defined run book template in the Automation Engine. One single step only, e.g. Start Windows Service, Copy file,… of this object typeAn individual object is provided for the individual activities: There are User, UserGroup, Notification, Cockpit, CodeTable, Documentation, Event, Agent, FileTransfer, Group, Include, Job, Workflow, Calendar, Login, Client, RemoteTaskManager, Schedule, Script, Server, Sync, Variable and TimeZone objects is to check file-system values. It is also possible to trigger an event if a GDG generation is closed. Enter an z/OS hostComputer, target system. in the File System Event tab and select the option Automatically in the timer control of the Event tab in order to use this function.
The closing of a new generation is waited for if GDG(+1) has been specified, which is normally the case. If you specify GDG with +/-0 (+0, +00, +000, -0, -00, -000), the closing of the current generation is waited for.
Example:
PAYROLL Name of the GDG
DSNAME=PAYROLL(0) This week's generation data set
DSNAME=PAYROLL(-1) Last week's generation data set
DSNAME=PAYROLL(-2) Generation data set of two weeks ago
Script element GET_EVENT_INFO
This script function retrieves the name of a generation which can then be processed.
Extract of an example:
:SET &FILENAME# = GET_EVENT_INFO (FILENAME)
:SET &HND# = PREP_PROCESS_FILE ("MVSHOST", &FILENAME#)
Some specifications are required in order to use GDG in your AE system:
