Using DELTA List Check and Execute in Batch

DELTA Lists that implement changes to IMS can be checked and executed in batch mode using one of the following methods:
  • Local batch (program DLAXCTL0—see sample in DLACNTL member DLA#EXCL) must execute on the same CPU as the IMS for which it is being executed. In addition, BMCLINK cannot have an active task for the target IMS while local batch is running.

  • Remote batch (program DLAXVTB0—see sample in DLACNTL member DLA#EXCR) can run on any CPU and BMCLINK must remain active.

Note

BMC Software recommends that you execute the remote batch program because of its ease of use.

Each of these methods requires access to the DELTA IMS PDS for DELTA List, and to DLALIB for programs, IMSID options, and keyword tables.

DELTA List elements that implement APPC changes cannot be checked or executed in batch mode. See the appropriate IBM publication for instructions on implementing APPC changes in batch mode.
