To modify the session and batch defaults:

In this field…

Do the following:

Region size

Type 8192K. This value should be large enough for the examples in this User Guide.

Include a SYSUDUMP DD in JCL

Type N. Only change to Y if you have Abend-AID installed on your current system.

Table Progress row count

Type 10. Then, during an extract File-AID/RDX will update the extract progress report every time it extracts 10 rows from an object.

Increment job name

Type N. Set to Y only when you want to increment your jobname when using this profile during the current session.

Job Statement Information

Leave blank. Only enter job statement information when the current profile requires different job statement information than what you defined in Setting Up Global User Defaults.

Press END

File-AID/RDX will display the Extract Defaults for you to edit the profile’s extract settings.

Field Names and Descriptions

The following list describes the fields on this screen.

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

Region size

Specify the region size for extract or load batch jobs to be run with this profile.

Include a SYSUDUMP DD in JCL (required for Abend-AID report)

Specify whether or not the batch job (Extract, Disguise or Load) should generate an Abend-AID report. Of course, you must have BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID program installed in order to receive the reports. If Abend-AID is not installed and an abend occurs a standard SYSUDUMP will be written to this DD statement.

Table Progress row count

Values allowed are 0 to 99999999, or *. For an extract with progress report active, the Table Progress Row Count parameter specifies the update interval per rows extracted for each object. * (asterisk) means that the progress report is updated each time File-AID/RDX has completed extracting rows from an object. The value 0 turns off progress reporting.

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 while using this profile.

Job Statement Information

Specify job card information for batch jobs using the current profile. If left blank here in the profile, File-AID/RDX will use the job card information specified in Setting Up Global User Defaults.

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.
