Using the Global Recording Batch Interface

Session Monitor provides a batch interface for Global Recording. Use it with a job scheduler to automate capture initiation and termination. For example, to initiate recording every morning at 8:00 AM and terminate it at 5:00 PM, create a job to RESTART the request and a job to STOP the request. Use a job scheduler to submit the jobs at the appropriate times.

Notes for using the online and batch interfaces together:

  • Create a recording request with the online interface, then manage it with scheduled jobs.
  • Initiate recording with the batch interface, then use the Monitor Requests option to view a list of sessions being captured.
  • Error
    Warning

    Using the CANCEL command does not work for managing requests when using both the online and batch interfaces.

  • DCI produces real return codes, as opposed to always returning a zero value. This allows you to determine whether global record or archive record requests started. It also allows JCL creation where job steps may or may not be executed based on whether the DCI request succeeded.
