HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Add SMF and JES event tracking exits

The agent for z/OS tracks the progress of jobs through the z/OS® system by using JES2, JES3, and SMF exit points. Add these exits on the z/OS system where you installed the agent, unless you already run a tracker of a supported IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS version (in this case, see JES2 exits and JES3 exits).

Several sample event-tracking exits, that simplify the installation of event tracking, are available in the SEELSAMP sample library. To assemble and install the exits, you can use the sample JCL provided to install the exits as SMP/E usermods, or you can assemble and link-edit the exits yourself. For JES exits, apply usermods in the CSI where JES is included: this is the best method. It has the advantage that SMP automatically reassembles the exits if maintenance is applied to the JES control blocks that the agent for z/OS depends upon.

The sample exits all use the EELEXIT macro to create event-generating code. See Invoking the EELEXIT macro for more information.

The following table describes the samples that you can use to generate and install the exits. The sample exit, skeleton JCL, and usermod entries identify the members in the SEELSAMP library.
