+ENFORCERI

The +ENFORCERI parameter helps LOADPLUS users transition to BMC AMI Load and minimize the impact for existing BMC AMI Load users:

  • For existing BMC AMI Load users, the default +ENFORCERI (NO,IGNORE) accepts existing BMC AMI Load input and continues to perform load processing as before.
  • For LOADPLUS users transitioning to BMC AMI Load, you might use the +ENFORCERI parameter as follows:
    • +ENFORCERI(YES,IGNORE) accepts existing LOADPLUS input, continues to perform load processing, and issues an informational message (NGTL011I).
    • +ENFORCERI(YES,WARN) accepts existing LOADPLUS input, continues to perform load processing, and issues an informational message (NGTL012W).
    • +ENFORCERI(YES,ERROR) fails load processing if referential integrity constraint checking is requested.

YES or NO

Specifies whether BMC AMI Load should expect LOADPLUS (YES) or BMC AMI Load (NO) syntax.

IGNORE, WARN, or ERROR

If referential integrity is requested, specifies how BMC AMI Load will handle the request for referential integrity checking:

  • IGNORE tells BMC AMI Load to ignore the request.
  • WARN tells BMC AMI Load to warn the user about the request and then proceed.
  • ERROR tells BMC AMI Load to generate an error.

BMC AMI Load currently accept the LOADPLUS ENFORCE option keywords even though BMC AMI Utilities do not currently support referential integrity.  For more information, see ENFORCE.

Using the +ENFORCERI parameter

Depending on the scenario, use the +ENFORCERI parameter as follows:

  • If you have been using the BMC AMI Load syntax, set the +ENFORCERI sub-parameters to NO and IGNORE (the default) so that the existing BMC AMI Utilities customers will see no impact from this change.
  • Users transitioning from BMC LOADPLUS to BMC AMI Load can also use this setting if they want to use the existing JCL with BMC AMI Load while ignoring referential integrity (BMC AMI Load issue an informational message only).
  • If you are transitioning from LOADPLUS to BMC AMI Load and want to identify jobs that request referential integrity, you can set the +ENFORCERI sub-parameters to YES and WARN. YES tells BMC AMI Load to expect LOADPLUS syntax for the ENFORCE keyword. WARN causes BMC AMI Load to not only issue a warning message, but also set the STEP CC = 0004 (the LOAD process proceeds as normal, otherwise).
  • If needed, the BMC LOADPLUS customers can also configure the +ENFORCERI sub-parameters to YES and ERROR to stop BMC AMI Load jobs that request referential integrity.  As above, YES tells BMC AMI Load to expect the LOADPLUS syntax for the ENFORCE keyword.  ERROR causes BMC AMI Load to set the STEP CC = 0008 and fail the LOAD processing.

Important

As you can customize the +ENFORCERI parameter with the NGTISTRT utility, you can pre-define the default, site-wide, values for this parameter without changing any existing JCL and then later change those as needed.
