1 BMC CONTROL-M for z/os Product Roadmap 9/2/2006

2 Agenda 6.1 July 2002 Oct Aug (soon) 6.3 Q

3 CTMPLEX: Exploiting SYSPLEX Capabilities What is that? Single global, several local monitors Distribute spool access and load among them Communication, assignment and Information sharing, through coupling facility XCF Global Local 6.1 Spool Why RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability), recoverability Performance and capacity better usage of current HW Easier upgrade, without need for maintenance window Local 3

4 BYPASS Bypass command for scheduling waiting jobs This is an option to allow a job to ignore pre-requisite conditions, missing resources, etc. The presentation in the Jobs map should reflect that a job has a bypass on it 6.1 4

5 Relative ODAT in IN/OUT Conditions 6.1 5

6 Future ODAT in Order When ordering a table or a job with a future ODAT, the job or the jobs in the table will run right when all of its pre-requisites will be fulfilled 6.1 The new flag tells BMC CONTROL-M for z/os to run the job or the jobs in the table in the ODAT date This feature is available in BMC CONTROL-M for z/os 6.1 6

7 AJF Space Reuse AJF Space Reuse AJF management done as part of New-Day processing Ad-Hoc jobs can be eliminated from the AJF Dynamic reuse of AJF space Control the behavior of AJF freed space * * * Data-Base Parameters: * * * CKP AJFSIZE=1000, # of records in the AJF ( ). May be turned on/off dynamically AJFTHRSH=90, WM2095: AJF-FULL Threshhold Specify HIST=Y, the duration of jobs to be History kept in AJF Jobs File Enabled (Y/N). JRNL=Y, Journaling Enabled (Y/N). Applies REUSTIME=30, only to jobs that ENDED-OK AJF Space and MAXWAIT=0 Reuse Retention Period REUSAPPL=REUS AJF Space Reuse Application Name Prefix When new jobs arrive they will be placed in free AJF entries Controlled by CTMPARM (CKP section) 7

8 INSTREAM JCL Include the JCL control cards as part of scheduling definition Eliminate the need to access the mainframe JCL library separately Can also be invoked from etrigger, EM API and EM Desktop and GUI The In-Stream JCL will reside in the AJF, available for Zoom & Save 8

9 INSTREAM JCL (3270) 9

10 Re-Run Of Job Flow Allow rerunning a job flow in a single command: From AJF (screen 3) Upstream, downstream or both Select which jobs in the flow to rerun The jobs conditions are automatically deleted before rerun Rerun or restart (steps apply only to the anchor job) 10

11 Re-Run Of Job Flow: RFLW JOBA ---> OPHIR7 ---> JOBD --->--->--->--->---> OPHIR >--> > JOBE --->--->--->--->---> >--> >--->--->--->---> JOBF ---> ---> JOBH ---> JOBJ > JOBI ---> >---> >---> JOBC --->

12 Re-Run Of Job Flow: Job List 12

13 Re-Run Of Job Flow: R Command 13

14 Re-Run Of Job Flow: Parms To Fill 14

15 Re-Run Of Job Flow: With Parms 15

16 Re-Run Of Job Flow Job Selection 16

17 Re-Run Of Job Flow: Ready To Run 17

18 Re-Run Of Job Flow: Done 18

19 Re-Run Of Job Flow: Running Again 19

20 Re-Run Of Job Flow: JOBJ Excluded 20

21 Keep / Discard Resources Keep resources when JOB ended NOTOK / Discard when OK When job ends NOTOK resources are automatically released In BMC CONTROL-M will keep resources (control and quantitative) allocated Release only when: re-run and ended OK, Forced OK, Deleted Determined through an attribute of a resource in a specific JOB (a field in the job definition per resource) Option to discard resources after usage 21

22 Keep / Discard Resources 22

23 SHOW FILTER Enhancements Following fields were added to filter: Wait quant, Wait cond, Wait time, Wait control Grp Active, Late Forced OK, Grp Hold, Restarted, CM Forced, Note attached Schedule library, CPU ID, LPAR ID Text field values 2 options controlled by profile Any string is prefix, default Use regular expression, Any string used as is For prefix use ABC* For suffix use *XYZ 23

24 SHOW FILTER enhancements 24

25 Statistics Calendar for Better Prediction Deadline scheduling calculations are based on job statistics Jobs statistics based on average elapsed time calculation How to handle variance in elapsed time? Job s elapsed time is exceptional during weekend Job s elapsed time is exceptional during end of quarter Jobs statistics are periodically based Implemented through calendars 20 entries per period 25

26 Statistics Calendar for Better Prediction 26

27 WLM Support: SCHEDENV SCHEDENV Introduced in version 6.1 Specify scheduling environment within job definition Will submit only when SCHEDENV available 27

28 WLM Support: SRVCLASS SRVCLASS Service class: set of parameters to determine required resources for job (CPU, I/O) Adjust job s service class based on Specific time frames (time-from, time-to) Jobs that are late submission (late-sub-srvclass) Jobs that are late execution (late-exec-srvclass) Will be specified globally using job prefix * * * *JOB_NAME APPLICATION_NAME FROM TO JOB_INIT LATE_SUB LATEEXEC * * MASK MASK TIME TIME SRVCLASS SRVCLASS SRVCLASS * * * ********************************************************************* K15JOBA TESTAPPLICATION STANDARD QUICK QUICKER N50* QUICK QUICKER QUICKEST EMERGENCYAPPL QUICKEST QUICKEST QUICKEST STAMJOB STANDARD STAMJOB QUICK * PROD* STANDARD QUICKER QUICKER 28

29 Job Flow Across NewDay Current situation Scenario 1 Scenario 2 New day at midnight (1/1/05) - Flow of jobs to run through all weekend Job A is ordered to run at 23:00-2 hours Backup window is needed at Late sub warning is required 2 hours Saturday noon later at 01:00 the following day (1/2/05) - FROM specific time (late Saturday) Late Sub Shout is coded to 01:00 - Late Sub warning is required for a job At 23:00 (1/1/05) a late sub shout is that should run on Saturday evening issued for Job A 2 hours ahead of time The solution Provide ODATE relative value from-time, to-time shout due out 29

30 Job Flow Across NewDay 30

31 Job Flow Across NewDay: Multi-Day 31

32 Job Flow Across NewDay: Multi-Day 32

33 .18: Support for EM 6.3 enhancements Configure BMC CONTROL-M for z/os to support EM 6.3 protocol Configuration Manager Support DO BMC REMEDY.18 33

34 .18: Additional Enhancements Records order time for jobs Submit with In-Memory buffer Export schedule definition to XML CTMTLB Built-in support for BMC Batch Impact Manager.18 34

35 6.3 Planned Items Jobs that cause problems will not be download to EM Dynamic refresh of user exits New-Day in memory no read from AJF on DASD STAT file enhancements Condition bridge when deleting job definition Limit number of CTM submitted jobs Dynamically move re-used AJF entries to history Enhanced IOAVERFY - for every field IOALOG - improve performance by having indexes

36 IOA and Install plans Installation audit Log update sections done through ICE Separate installation from customization Separation SysProg tasks from BMC CONTROL-M Admin tasks Installation parameters in default - Express Install Allow Install with very few questions if All Defaults are used Single job for all actions, for all products IOA Cloning Easy replication for every LPAR Mechanism for distribution of updates Reports to assist in synchronizing between IOA environments Support sharing SMP/E Global files between multiple IOA env. Simplify maintaining multiple IOA SMP/E environments
