Option G—global user defaults


The following figure is displayed when you select Option G from the File-AID/RDX Primary Option Menu. Use this screen to specify global parameters for the extract, load and delete reference lists, whether or not to delete the File-AID/RDX control card PDSEs at the end of extract, load, delete, or disguise jobs, default job statement information, a default Dynamic Privacy Rules Repository, and view the current File-AID/RDX version number.

The values you specify here are applied only when your current profile’s corresponding values are blank.

FA/RDX Version

Displays the current version of File-AID/RDX you are using.

Reference List controls

Extract reference list entries

Values allowed are 10 to 250, installation default is 50. Specify the maximum number of extract requests to be stored in the Extract reference list. When the reference list exceeds the maximum number of entries the oldest unlocked entry will roll off the list. See also Extract Reference List.

Load reference list entries

Values allowed are 10 to 250, installation default is 50. Specify the maximum number of load or delete requests to be stored in the Load/Delete reference list. When the reference list exceeds the maximum number of entries the oldest unlocked entry will roll off the list. See also Load Reference List and Delete Reference List.

Job Statement Information

Increment job name

Specify whether you want the automatic job name incrementation or not. If Yes, File-AID/RDX will increment the last character of the job name after each submission for the current TSO session.

Delete in-stream data datasets at EOJ

The last steps, CLEANCTL and CLEANEXT, in the extract, load, delete and disguise jobs delete the File-AID/RDX control card PDSEs and parameter files (FBCNTL, VBCNTL, EXTPARMS). Keeping the data sets until all steps run successfully allows for the restarting of the JCL at any step. See also Control Card Cleanup, Control card cleanup in Load-View-JCL and Control card cleanup in Delete-processing-options, as well as CLEANCTL—File Cleanup (IEFBR14) - Optional, hereherehere, and here.

YES

Deletes the File-AID/RDX control card PDSEs and parameter files at the end of an extract, load, delete or disguise job.

NO

Does not delete the File-AID/RDX control card PDSEs and parameter files at the end of an extract, load, delete or disguise job (Steps CLEANCTL and CLEANEXT are commented out).

DPR: Repository Name

Specify the name of the Repository to be used as the default repository with Disguise Extract File option 2 (see Disguise Extract File). The repository stores the Dynamic Privacy Rules Projects created with the Data Studio’s Data Privacy component of the Data Studio.

If your current profile does not include the Repository Name, File-AID/RDX will use the name you specify here. The Repository Name must be set properly, and will be used in combination with Dynamic Privacy Rules Project Name (see also DPR: Project Name) throughout the rest of the product.

File-AID/Data Solutions and Data Studio’s Data Privacy are required.

Specify the full repository name (up to 128 characters). Leave blank or enter an asterisk (*) by itself for a list of all available repositories. Then select the desired repository from the list (see Privacy Repository List).

Job Statements

Specify the default job card information for batch jobs.

If your current profile does not include job card information, File-AID/RDX will use the default job card information you specify here. If your current profile includes job card information, the profile’s job card will be used for all extract, load, delete and disguise JCL (see also Job Statement Information).

Important

When disguising an extract with Data Studio’s Data Privacy defined Dynamic Privacy Rules (DPR), specify a region size large enough to run Java (REGION=0M is suggested, 200M is the minimum) in your jobcard. See also Disguise Extract File, option 2, DPR.
