Modifying JCL for automatic merging

You are responsible for running UIE at each location and transferring the UIE results to the Performance Predictor server.

The following figure shows a sample job and commands that you can use to transfer the UIE run data to Performance Predictor using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). You can add the FTP step to your UIE nightly process, or you can run FTP as a separate job.

xxxxxx.YOUR.FTPSERVER is the name of the FTP server that you are using to send the UIE baselines.

xxxxxx/ yyyyyyy is the ID on the FTP server.

pppppp is the password.

Important

You need to run the FTP job for each location. For example, for LocationB and then again for LocationC, you change the line that reads CD LocationA to CD LocationB. Then run the FTP job again changing CD LocationB to CD LocationC.

To create a configuration file, specify an operation, and schedule a task for the automatic merge, see BMC Performance Predictor for Mainframes.
