To define a checkpoint data set

Run the required job in the RSSSAMP data set for the products listed in the following table.

Specify the name of the checkpoint data set you define using the parameter in the required member.

Important

Except for BMC AMI Enterprise Connector for Venafi, each instance must have a unique checkpoint data set. Otherwise, it conflicts with other instances and produces unexpected results.

The EC for Venafi checkpoint data set can be shared.

Allocating the checkpoint data set for EC for Venafi

After you define a checkpoint data set with the RSVCHKPT job, allocate the data set in one of the following ways:

  • In the ECVAPARM configuration member, use the CheckpointDataset parameter to specify the checkpoint data set that applies to multiple jobs or to the entire system.
    For more information, see Configuring the agent.
  • In the ECVAPROC JCL procedure, use the RSVCHKPT DD parameter to specify the checkpoint data set on a job-by-job basis.
    The value specified in the JCL procedure overrides the value specified in the ECVAPARM configuration member.
