The export service captures all SCLM accounting and build map information associated with a specified group. You can use this service with the IMPORT service to create a consistent set of data that can be archived or used to create a new release, rename a group, or transport software from one hierarchy to another. Although the SCLM Migration Utility provides a similar function, using the EXPORT and IMPORT services allows you to save build maps. Data presently residing in the group specified is not changed by this service.

Parameters

project

The project name. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. This parameter is used for FLMCMD only.

prj_def

The project definition name used for the export. It defaults to the project definition. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. This parameter is used for FLMCMD only.

sclm_id

An SCLM ID associated with a given project and project definition. The SCLM ID is generated by the INIT service. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. This parameter is used for FLMLNK only.

group

The group to be exported. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. The group must be defined in the project definition. The group must have export VSAM data sets defined in the project definition.

Y|N

Indicates whether to purge previously exported data from the export data sets for the group. The export data sets must be empty before new export data can be stored in them. If you specify Y, SCLM attempts to purge the data in the data sets. If you specify Y and the purge fails, the export does not occur. If you specify N, SCLM assumes that the export data sets are empty and does not attempt to purge the data sets. If the export data sets are not empty, the export does not occur. The maximum parameter length is 24 characters. For FLMCMD, the default value is N. There is no default value for FLMLNK.

dd_msgs

The ddname indicating the destination of the export messages. If you specify a blank ddname, SCLM routes the export messages to the default output device, such as your terminal. Otherwise, before you call the EXPORT service, you must allocate the ddname; the following attributes should be used: RECFM=F, LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=80. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

dd_rept

The ddname indicating the destination of the export report. If you specify a blank ddname, SCLM routes the export report to the default output device, such as your terminal. Otherwise, before you call the EXPORT service, you must allocate the ddname; the following attributes should be used: RECFM=F, LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=80. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

Return codes

Additional special services messages are written to the FLMMSGS ddname. See SCLM service messages for more information.

Other return codes might be produced by the FLMCMD or the FLMLNK processor. See SCLM service return codes for more information.

Example of command invocation

FLMCMD EXPORT,PROJ1,,USER1,Y

This service command exports the USER1 group of the PROJ1 project. The export data sets are purged of any existing information before the SCLM accounting information is exported. SCLM sends messages and the report to the terminal.
