Invoking UNLOAD PLUS

You normally invoke UNLOAD PLUS as a batch job by specifying the execution of the module ADUUMAIN on the EXEC statement of your JCL and including the required EXEC statement parameters.

You must also specify any DD statements that UNLOAD PLUS requires, as described in the preceding sections.

Ensure that all required libraries are available and APF-authorized as described in UNLOAD-PLUS-STEPLIB-DD-statement.

Restarting UNLOAD PLUS

Although UNLOAD PLUS accepts the values RESTART, RESTART(PHASE), NEW/RESTART, or NEW/RESTART(PHASE) if you specify one of them, the utility executes as though you specified the NEW value.

For more information, see Restart parameter.

Terminating or canceling an UNLOAD PLUS job

You can terminate an UNLOAD PLUS job by deleting the corresponding rows from the BMCUTIL, (BMC.DB2.SPE2404)BMCUTIL2, and BMCSYNC tables or by specifying TERM on the restart parameter of the utility. If the job is running now, it is terminated at the next sync point.

If you want to end the utility immediately, use the MVS or TSO CANCEL command to cancel the job.
