Creating a Job Definition Using GENERATE JOBDEF Command - z/OS

SAP jobs offer many configuration options. Manually creating Universal Connector job definitions that utilize many configuration options can be tedious and time consuming.

Universal Connector offers a function that generates a complete job definition based on a pre-existing template job on the SAP system. The generated job definition can then be modified, if needed.

The following example demonstrates the use of the generate jobdef command.

//USPGEN2  JOB CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID                     
//*****************************************************************
//* Description
//* -----------
//* This sample generates a USAP job definition based on a 
//* pre-existing template job on an SAP system.
//*
//* NOTE: This job assumes (and requires) that a job already 
//* exists on an the SAP system with:
//* Job Name: USP_TEMPLATE_1
//* Job ID:   12345678
//* 
//         JCLLIB ORDER=#SHLQ.UNV.SUNVSAMP                           
//*                                                                  
//STEP1    EXEC USPPRC                                               
//SYSIN    DD  *   
-dest     CF5 
-client   800 
-userid   sapuid
