IVP jobs and tasks

This section identifies all the jobs and tasks that can be used during the IVP process.

The jobs and tasks that are presented by the IVP dialog are determined by your choice of environment options and IVP suboptions. The final list in this group, Steps Zx for index of additional PDS members does not identify jobs or tasks in the IVP process. It identifies members of SDFSSLIB and SDFSISRC that support the IVP process. Additional documentation for the IVP jobs and tasks can be printed using the DOC action during either the File Tailoring phase or the Execution phase of the IVP dialog.

Use the IVP dialog to obtain current information regarding IVP jobs and tasks.

In these lists, the jobs and tasks are presented in the same sequence that is used by the IVP dialog. The naming convention used for jobs and tasks is:
  • IV_ssnnt
Where:
  •  _ - (underscore) identifies the selected environment option:
    • 1 - DBB - Batch
    • 2 - DBC - DBCTL
    • 3 - DBT - DB/DC
    • 4 - XRF - DB/DC with XRF
    • 9 - DCC - DCCTL
  • ss - identifies the IVP step
  • nn - a number assigned by IVP that provides a unique name
  • t - identifies the item type:
    • J - JOB

      A PDS member with the same name is placed into INSTALIB during the file-tailoring phase. Items of type J are intended to be submitted for execution.

    • T - task

      Tasks represent items of work that must be prepared by the user. For some tasks, an example is provided in the INSTALIB data set. These examples are not intended for execution.

    • N - Supporting materials

      The INSTALIB data set can also contain members that support other jobs (such as CLISTs and control statements).
