Running PeopleSoft Process Scheduler or Application Engine From a JCL in OS390
PeopleSoft Process Scheduler is customarily started and stopped from a JCL sample. JCLs are provided to accomplish this task. An Application Engine program must also be run from a JCL in some business cases. Any PeopleSoft executable residing in the UNIX System Services (USS) can be invoked from a JCL using the IBM BPXBATCH utility.
In the high-level qualifier where PeopleSoft is installed in OS390, a partitioned dataset (HLQ.JCLLIB) contains the following JCL:
PRCSSTRT,JCL: JCL to start PeopleSoft Process Scheduler.
PRCSSTOP.JCL: JCL to stop PeopleSoft Process Scheduler.
AESAMP.JCL: Sample JCL to run an Application Engine program.
The following table identifies the meta-strings to use, in the order specified in a shell JCL template, for USS scheduler to pass COBOL parameters so that it can, in turn, call Application Engine:
|
Meta-String |
Description |
|---|---|
|
%PS_HOME% |
Path of PeopleSoft home directory |
|
%PS_SERVDIR% |
Full path of the server directory, for example, $PS_HOME/appserv/prcs/PT840GA. |
|
%PS_SERVERCFG% |
Full path of the psprcs configuration file, for example, $PS_SERVDIR/psprcs.cfg. |
|
%PS_CONFIG% |
Full path of the psprcs.sh file, for example, $PS_HOME/psconfig.sh. |
|
%HFS_USERID% |
Login ID (userID). Same authorities as the userID used for installation, or the userID that started Process Scheduler. |
|
%JOBNAME% |
Specifies the value entered in the OS390 Job Controls Name field on the Process Profile Permission page for the permission lists specified as the user ID’s process profile. The process profile for a user ID can be set using the User Profiles page in the Security component. |
|
%REGION_SIZE% |
Region size. The Default is −1. |
|
%CPU_TIME% |
Maximum CPU time this Application Engine process is allowed to use. The default is 1000. This matches the default value for MAXCPUTIME variable of BPXPRMxx member of the SYS1.PARMLIB. |
