1) I'm trying to generate Job Flow diagram for JCLs. I want to build a diagram which can says the actual flow of the job (like Job name -> program -> In/Out files). Could you please provide me the Scope parameters for this. Thanks in advance.

2) How to get the Job Flow diagram for dependent JCLs, like Job flow for multiple jobs (A B C D are jobs and A is predecessor for B and so on.) So how to show these relationships through Job Flow diagram.

3) What is the extention for MFS which is coded in Assembler. I have tried giving .MFS or .AMFS or MFI but nothing is working fine.

Please give me the solution to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    1) You can see this in Batch Application (see under the Analyze menu). Go to the Job View page and under the Diagram menu, uncheck the JCL Procedures Usage. Select the jobs you are interested in Job list and go to the Diagram page. I'd warn you that the programs may not be in the correct execution sequence as the diagram presentation is optimised for the efficient layout rather than execution order.

    2) You can do this in a couple of ways: a) include analysis of a job scheduler (CA-7 and TWS are supported); and b) you can import job dependencies from an XML file. The format is like this:

    <BAV>

     <Dependencies>

       <JOB NAME='ZBNKBAT1.JCLJCL#6' DEPENDSON='ZBNKINT1.JCLJCL#7' TYPE='ADD'/>

     </Dependencies>

    </BAV>

    Within the Diagram View you can select a JCL and use the right-click context menu to set a successor. Perhaps use this approach to manually create a couple of dependencies in your own code, export (from the File menu) and use as a template for the dependencies you want to see.

    3) You can add new file extensions in the Workspace Options. Go to the registration tab and add the file extension to the file type. In fact, .mfs is a valid extension for MFS Maps so if this is not being registered it could be that your use of EA is not configured for IMS - open EA Admin tool and go to EA Configuration. Check that "IBM/360/370/390 IMS" is selected. If you need to configure EA then you will need to upgrade the Workspace before opening it again.

    Thanks Neils.

    1) 'Batch application' option helped me to generate Job Flow diagram in detail for Independent Jobs.

    2) Could you please give me the syntax or format of CA7 job scheduler and help me in how to import that into tool?

    3) .MFS extension is available and injected component as .MFS but its throwing "File 'CARD' not Found". So I have changed it to .MFI and it accepted but I couldn't be able to Screens and Screen folder which is generated by System.

    Thanks for your time and looking forward for your reply.

    1) glad to hear it

    2) If you go to the Help system (enter the F1 key) and search on CA-7 you will find a reference. You use the LJOB utility

    3) As an MFS extension, see what file type the source was loaded as and then go to Workspace options and Registration tab. Find the file type that the .MFS was loaded as and uncheck this extension for that file type. The default for a .MFS file is the "MFS file" which is a screen definition. There should be no reason the parser should look for a CARD file. The .MFI is normally reserved as an Include (or copy) to an MFS file

    Thanks for your time and reply Neils.

    3) I have loaded it as .MFS in the source but still throwing errors as below
    "Error 24005 - Incorrect value"
    "Information 24311 - Too long name 'P01='ZZT111 SK*01' " .

    like this for all the Fkeys in the MFS getting same error and "24311 - Too long name" for fields like B20FILLER and all.

    I attached the assembler MFS for your reference where I'm getting all these errors. suggest me on this to load into the tool without any errors.

    Hi Mkrishna,

    the file you attached is not an MFS file as I would know it.  See the file I have attached.

    Yeah Neils. Even I observed with other MFS which are similar to the one you sent.

    Any guess on the component(ZZP111) which I attached in my last post.? If yes, then that would help me alot.

    thanks in advance.

    Hi, I'm afraid I don't recognise the file and it isn't one that EA will parse
