Batch Execution Report

The Batch Execution Report is written to CDFPRINT DDNAME of the job, and the compared and merged versions are saved in the WIS DSNAME defined in your profile at the time of the batch job submission.

Thus, if you want to use M+R while the batch job is running, you have to update your profile providing a different WIS data set.

Also, if you intend to print snapshots or analysis and have requested a MERGE Report, you should provide a new print file.

The Batch Execution Report contains four parts:

  • User Request.

  • Member Sets Execution Messages.

  • Version Impact Analysis.

  • Batch Execution Summary.

Each report part is illustrated and explained below.

User Request

The Batch Execution Report starts with the Job Name and the TSO Logon ID of the user who has submitted the job.

The Comparison Options in effect during the batch compare and merge include

  • Language (TEXT Type) and the ignore cosmetic differences option.

  • Comparison Resolution: low, default, high, or super high.

  • The AutoOverride option.

The Execution Options refer to the user's choices about

  • Which member to execute: all or those whose names match a pattern, masks or member name range.

  • Which members to export.

The User Request portion of the Batch report is shown below.

  • WIS DSNAME refers to the WIS PDS where the executed member sets will be saved for access through M+R online sessions. This library already may have some members executed online or by a previous job. If the Execution option is SKIP EXECUTED, as in the example above, those members will not be re-executed in this run.

  • EXPORT DSN is the export PDS which already may have some members exported. If the Execution option is SKIP EXPORTED, those members will not be re-executed in this run.

  • BASE DSN and DERV #n specify the version libraries which will be compared and merged in this run.

Execution Messages

This is a log of all completion and exception messages generated during the execution of each same-name member set. For more details about the messages, see Messages and Codes.
