This screen is used to activate the Simulation procedure or the Tape Pull List procedure. The screen can be displayed in the following ways:

The Simulation facility simulates the actions of the Control-M monitor under the conditions specified in the simulation parameters.
Online simulation is performed in the CPU without updating the simulation input files, or without performing any other I/O procedure.
Note: At sites supporting the JOB/SCAN, PRO/JCL, or DOCU/TEXT Interface, the lower portion of the Simulation screen is modified to contain the INVOKE JOBSCAN parameters.
The Tape Pull List procedure creates a list of all tapes to be mounted in a specified period, taking into account the expected order of job execution and the order of creation of tape data sets. The list can be sorted and edited in various ways.
This utility also provides the following benefits:
Note: For the Tape Pull List procedure to execute properly, authority must be granted for the submission of jobs to the internal reader (INTRDR).
For more information about Simulation and Tape Pull List procedures, see Simulation and Forecasting Facility.
To activate this online utility, fill in the fields and sub-fields shown in Table 140, and press Enter.\-
Table 140 Fields of the Control-M Simulation and Forecasting and Tape Pull List Screen
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
RUN SIMULATION Fields: |
|
RUN SIMULATION |
Whether to run the simulation. Valid values are:
|
From |
Simulation start date and time, in the format yyyymmddhhmm. |
Until |
Simulation end date and time, in the format yyyymmddhhmm. |
ON Fields: |
|
ON Today’s-current AJF |
Whether to use "Today’s" data (that is, the data currently in the AJF) as input for the simulation. Valid values are:
|
Another day - DATE |
Date to use for scheduling or ordering simulation jobs. The format is ddmmyy, mmddyy, or yymmdd, depending on your site standard. A valid date must be entered when not using "Today’s" data (that is, if N is entered in the Today’s-current AJF field.) |
Create new AJF |
Whether to allocate a new AJF to contain jobs for the simulation. Valid values are:
|
Order daily jobs |
Whether to load into the new AJF all the jobs that are scheduled to execute on the specified date. Valid values are:
|
Keep output AJF,RES |
Specifies whether to save the output AJF, the IOA Conditions file, and the Control-M Resources file (that is, the files as they appear at the end of the simulation.) The output files must be kept if you plan to produce reports, such as a Jobs Left report, based on these files. Valid values are:
|
Parameters member |
Name of the member in the CTM PARM library that contains the simulation parameters. This member may contain parameters such as INTERVAL, ADD COND, and so on. Default: SIMPARM |
REPORTS Fields: |
|
Types of reports to be produced. Valid values for each report type are:
|
|
Note: This part of the panel is often site-modified. The following are the default report types: |
|
Jobs left |
This report lists the jobs that did not end OK by the end of the simulation (jobs in status WAIT SCHEDULE, EXECUTING, ENDED NOTOK, and so on). This report is identical to KeyStroke Sample report REPJOBMO in the IOA.KSL library. Default: Y |
Night schedule |
This report provides a job execution time summary. For more information, see the discussion of CTMRNSC, the night schedule report, in the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide. Default: Y |
TAPE PULL LIST Fields: |
|
TAPE PULL LIST |
Specifies whether to run the Tape Pull List procedure. The accompanying "Report by" fields specify whether to generate individual Tape Pull reports. Valid values for this field and the accompanying "Report by" fields are:
|
Report by VOLSER |
This report is sorted by volume serial number (this includes all tapes from the tape library). Default: Y |
Report by TIME |
This report is sorted by the expected mount time. Default: Y |
Report by JOBNAME |
This report is sorted by job name. Default: N |
Report by DSN |
This report is sorted by data set name. Default: N. |
Parameters member |
Name of the member in the CTM PARM library that contains the Tape Pull parameters. This member may contain parameters such as REPBYVOL, REPBYTIME, or REPBYJOB. Default: TAPULPRM |
INVOKE JOBSCAN Fields: |
|
INVOKE JOBSCAN |
These parameters apply only if the JOB/SCAN, PRO/JCL, or DOCU/TEXT Interface is installed at your site. Valid values for the accompanying fields are Y (Yes) or N (No). Only one Y value can be entered.
|
JCL Checking |
If Y is entered
and
|
Errors Only |
If Y is entered, checks for JCL errors only. |
Space Report |
If Y is entered, checks for adequate DASD disk space allocation only. |
Enter YES to continue Field: |
|
Enter YES to continue |
When set to blank, the jobs are not generated. This prevents the simulation or tape pull list jobs from being unintentionally generated. Type YES to enable the job run. The file of the simulation job as tailored to your specifications is displayed in ISPF EDIT. You can submit it, save it for future use, and so on. Default: YES |
To exit the screen without activating either facility, press PF03/PF15.
