BASIC TERMINOLOGY IN ESP

Application (Similar to CA7 SCHIDS) Events (Active CA7 SCHIDS) Procedures

APPLICATIONS

Application contains a series of statements that identifies:

Application The location of JCL libraries Jobs and job relationship Other work load objects (WOBs)

APPLICATIONS

Application also contains statements which describes:

When other job will run Other job dependencies such as time and resource

Jobs & WOBs

Applications contains one or more WOBs/Jobs which you select from palette in work load editor ( the below view is like Fstruc in CA7)

EVENT

Event is a basic unit of work Information in an Event describes:

The type of work to be done When to do the work Submit JCL/Shell scripts Send message to user, console etc Issue an operating system command

The function of Event:

EVENT

An event is triggered by:

Scheduled date or time Manual trigger Dataset trigger Job monitor or alert trigger

Procedure

Procedure is set of stored instructions that ESP work load manager invokes You can code an ESP Procedure:

In a stored Procedure that you store in a member of a PDS or PDSE, or in a sequential data set. In an instream Procedure that you include in an Event, starting with the PROC command and ending with the ENDPROC command.

Procedure
INVOKE command is used to invoke an ESP procedure E.g.:

EVENT ID(PROD.PAYDAILY) SCHEDULE 4PM WEEKDAYS INVOKE 'CYBER.ESP.PROC(PAYDAILY)' ENDDEF
