Fixlib equivalent on Distributed Systems

[SanjeevRana]

On the MVS side, we have the concept of a dated Overlib and a Fixlib which helps override Production JCLs on the fly.

Is there a similar provision which can be setup on Distributed System Side (AIX/Windows) for ESP Agents so that they check another path on the server (maybe in agentparm file) for a script before running the passed Production one from the Controller ??

Hello,

It seems you use a different manager on mainframe than ESP, maybe CA 7?

If yes, you may post your question under "Workload Automation - Mainframe".

Thanks,

At the top of the APPL's that run MF jobs we have this coded:

JCLLIB 'ISAAP.JCLLIB' <-- normal everyday lib (all prod JCL is kept here)
COPYJCL 'ISAAP.JCLCOPY' <-- where the jcl goes once the job runs, for quick fixes this can be edited (for restarts)
TEMPLIB 'ISAAP.JCLLIB.OVERRIDE' <-- when the dev/programmer knows he needs to over ride that nights JCL we put the JCL here, once the job runs it deletes it, so this is one time run

Hope this helps.
