Block of CALLX requests

• Enter the name of the BBPARM member in the BLK parameter of the TIMEXEC application where:
  • BLK: enter a one- to eight-character name of a BBPARM member containing a group of CALLX requests
  • BMC AMI Ops Automation generates an INVALID COMBINATION error message if you request a block of CALLX services and a single CALLX service at the same time.
    
    
• Specify the BBPARM member name in the BLK parameter of the IMFEXEC IMFC SET command.
  
  
• Specify the BBPARM member name in the BLK parameter of BBPARM member BBIISPxx. The CALLX timer-driven requests are automatically started when the BBI-SS PAS starts.

The example steps are as follows:

1. Create a member in BBPARM and name it STARTX.

   STARTX requests three timer-driven EXECs called DRIVER, SMFDUMP, and DISA. These EXECs do the following

   • DRIVER: starts VTAM system at 7:00 A.M. and, when initialized, starts TSO
   • SMFDUMP: switches and Dumps SMF data every day at 6:00 P.M. except weekends
   • DISA: issues a #D A,L command every 30 minutes

2. Include the timer-driven CALLX requests and any other timer-driven service requests you want in the BBPARM STARTX member:

   REQ=CALLX DRIVER

   REQ=CALLX SMFDUMP START=18:00:00

   EQ=CALLX DISA I=00:30:00 START=14:17:00
3. Specify either
   • STARTX for the BLK parameter value (BLK ==> STARTX) in the TIMEXEC application.
   • BLK=STARTX in the BBIISPxx member of BBPARM, which automatically initiates the CALLX requests in the BBPARM STARTX member whenever the BBI-SS PAS starts.
