Generating a multi-step job


You can specify additional steps to be included in the Execution job for 

BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2

. You can specify whether to perform a comparison before and after the worklist is executed. You can also specify whether to build a baseline before and after the worklist is executed.

  1. On the BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2 Main Menu, select WORKID, and press Enter.
  2. On the WORKID Action Menu, type the name of the WORKID (or type a wildcard pattern) and select Execute WORKID worklist created by Analysis. Then, press Enter.
  3. On the Execution JCL Build Interface panel, specify the information to build and run the JCL.
    1. Select a JCL Type.
    2. Select a Run Type.
    3. Press Enter.
  4. On the Execution Pre- and Post-Processing Interface panel, specify your options for performing a comparison or building a baseline before the worklist is executed.
    1. Select one of the following options regarding a comparison before the worklist is executed:

      Goal

      Select option

      To not perform a comparison

      Do not do a compare before execution

      To identify the differences between two existing baselines at two points in time.

      Compare two previous baselines

      To identify the differences between an existing baseline and the current Db2 catalog at two points in time.

      Compare a previous baseline to the current catalog

    2. Select one of the following options to create a baseline before the worklist is executed:

      Goal

      Select option

      To not build a baseline

      Do not build a baseline before execution

      To create a structure-only catalog baseline. This baseline serves as a record of the data structure definitions before the worklist is executed.

      Important

      This baseline cannot be used for a full recovery.

      Build a baseline before execution

  5. Specify your options for performing a comparison or building a baseline after the worklist is executed.

    1. Select one of the following options to perform a comparison after the worklist is executed:

      Goal

      Select option

      To not perform a comparison

      Do not do a compare after execution

      To identify the differences between an existing baseline and the new Db2 catalog structure that was altered by Execution.

      Compare a previous baseline to the new catalog structures

      To identify the differences between the new baseline that was created by the Baseline component and the new Db2 catalog structure that was altered by Execution. Compare builds the CDL that is needed to recover back to the data structure definitions that were captured in the Pre-Execution Baseline step.

      Compare the baseline built during a previous job step to the new catalog structures

      To identify the differences between the Db2 catalog and an existing catalog baseline that was created in the Pre-Execution Baseline step. Compare builds the CDL that is needed to recover the structures and data.

      Create CDL to fall back to a previous baseline

    2. Select one of the following options to create a baseline after the worklist is executed:

    Goal

    Select option

    To not build a baseline

    Do not build a baseline after execution

    To create a structure-only catalog baseline.

    Important

    This baseline cannot be used for a full recovery.

    Build a baseline after execution

    Important

    This baseline cannot be used for a full recovery.

  6. Press Enter.Depending on the options that you selected, the following panels are displayed:
    • Create Baseline Interface panel, on which you specify the name of the baseline profile, the name of the baseline (or a defined baseline template), and the name of the diagnostics data set
    • Execution Compare Interface panel, on which you specify the name of the baseline, the name of the data set for the generated CDL, and the name of the diagnostics data set
    • Execution JCL Processing Interface panel, on which you specify the data set names for JCL and the worklist, and select the worklist processing options
