2.20 Implemented change requests / extended commands
2.20.1 MOVE-TASK-TO-CATEGORY
The system administration can use the new MOVE-TASK-TO-CATEGORY
command to change the assignment of a task to a category if, for
example, it is necessary to provide better control of this task
or relieve the load on a category. The command does not handle
tasks with the task type "SYSTEM" and the category "SYSTEM" can-
not be specified as the target category. It is not necessary to
use the PCS (Performance Control System).
2.20.2 SHOW-USER-ATTRIBUTES
The USER-IDENTIFICATION parameter can be specified with wild-
cards. Further criteria for selecting user entries can be speci-
fied with the new SELECT parameter.
2.20.3 ACS (Alias Catalog System) for job variables
As of ACS V15.0, job variables can also be assigned an alias as
was previously possible for files. The alias catalog is extended
with the additional RANGE indicator for the required validity
range.
The validity range is set with the new RANGE operand of the
/ADD-ALIAS-CATALOG-ENTRY command
It is possible to set whether the alias catalog is valid:
- just for replacing file names: RANGE=*FILE
- just for replacing JV names: RANGE=*JV
- or for replacing both file and JV names: RANGE=*BOTH
ACS RANGE=*BOTH is set as default when ACS is installed.
The validity range can be changed with the command
/MODIFY-ALIAS-CATALOG-ENTRY ,RANGE=*UNCHANGED/*FILE/*JV/*BOTH
/SHOW-ALIAS-CATALOG-ENTRY without the RANGE operand specified
outputs all entries. The validity range of the alias catalog en-
try can be found at the left in the third position of the output:
F for file
J for job variable
B for file and job variable.
Note:
The insertion of an extra letter shifts the command output
to the right by one position. Procedures that use the output of
/SHOW-ALIAS-CATALOG-ENTRY may have to be adjusted.
In addition, as previously, an alias catalog name must be unambi-
guously identifiable with the alias name, i.e. there can only be
one single alias catalog entry for each alias name.
It is therefore not possible to assign the same alias name for
two alias catalog entries with different RANGE entries. The fol-
lowing assignments, for example, are therefore not possible:
Alias name A, file name X, RANGE=*FILE
Alias name A, file name Y, RANGE=*JV
You will find a complete description of the ACS commands in the
manual "BS2000/OSD-BC V6.0 Commands".
