Enhanced processing using BCF

BCF can provide specialized processing that usually is not allowed for batch jobs.

This added capability is available through the enhanced processing routines, which are installed on your system as supervisor call (SVC) routines. The AESENH00 maintenance program, used to install and remove the enhanced processing routines, must reside on the MVS image where you plan to run batch jobs that use enhanced processing, and the program must be executed after each IPL. When the AESENH00 maintenance program is executed, the SVC routines are dynamically loaded in the common area of your system.

Warning

Note

An IPL is not required each time you install or update BCF. When an IPL is required, BMC explicitly states as such in the associated release notes, technical bulletin, flash, or PTF.

During job step initialization, BCF determines whether the enhanced processing routines are installed. If enhanced processing is not installed, you cannot use cancel intercept or abend filter processing. Once loaded, BCF uses the routines to enhance or enable cancel intercept and abend filter processing when needed.
