Running FP Stand-alone DB Sensor

To run FP Stand-alone DB Sensor, code DB Sensor JCL statements and submit the job.

Before you begin

Before you submit your DB Sensor job, ensure that the IMS Tools KB server and all the repositories, including the Sensor Data repository, are available.

Optionally, start the Autonomics Director servers if you want to run DB Sensor and a policy evaluation by using the Autonomics Director scheduling calendar. To start Autonomics Director servers, see the IMS Tools Base Autonomics Director User’s Guide.

Tip: Stand-alone DB Sensor provides the Site Default Generation utility. You can use this utility to set your own default values for your site. See Setting site default values for FP Stand-alone DB Sensor for information about setting default values.

Procedure

  1. Write the EXEC and the DD statements.

    See EXEC and DD statements for FP Stand-alone DB Sensor for information about the format of the EXEC statement and the input and the output DD statements.

  2. Specify the GLOBAL command and keywords in the HFPSYSIN DD.

    The GLOBAL command controls the behavior of the job.

    See GLOBAL command keywords for FP Stand-alone DB Sensor for information about the keywords that can be specified for the GLOBAL command.

  3. Specify the DATABASE command and keywords in the HFPSYSIN DD.

    The DATABASE command specifies the DEDB areas to process.

    See DATABASE command keywords for FP Stand-alone DB Sensor for information about the keywords that can be specified for the DATABASE command.

  4. Submit the job.

    Ensure that the return code is 0. If the return code is other than 0, check the write-to-operator (WTO) messages or the messages that are printed in the HFPPRINT data set, and take the appropriate actions by referring to the troubleshooting information.
