What is TWS/BatchAD? TWS/BatchAD is an add on to TWS, it enables you to: Perform mass updates Modify all TWS definitions in batch To move TWS-Applications from one TWS into another by modifying keys ...

execute TWS dialog functions in batch mode! With TWS/BatchAD Insert, delete, modify or list Applications Calendars Periods Workstations ETT OI Special Resource Definitions Variable tables 1.1 1.3 1.2 1.4 1.7 1.5 1.6 1.9 execute TWS dialog functions in batch mode!

Without TWS/BatchAD TWS’s integrated mass update function does not compare with TWS/BatchAD: The TWS mass update is complicated and incomplete Your own PIF program will need maintenance for new TWS versions manpower to implement requirements documentation

Technique of TWS/BatchAD TWS/BatchAD is a “normal” program (no STC). It communicates with the TWS controller. TWS/BatchAD uses PIF (TWS Program Interface) - 100% secure - 100% reliabel TWS/BatchAD can be used in - Batch programs (JCL) - Dialog programs (Clist, REXX)

Selection TWS/BatchAD offers a wide range of selection functionality: Generic Use wildcards for selection and modification (change all Applications PROD* to TEST*) All data fields are supported Application lists Use predefined application list for selection

Control Statements * SEARCH CRITERIA ADID=TEST* * ACTION PARAMETER RECORD=ADCOM ACTION=MODIFY * UPDATE PARAMETER NEWADID=PROD* Select Applications, Operations, Special Resources... Select the desired action Specify new values for the selected objects

Some examples The following three examples show you the capabilities of TWS/BatchAD: Change key values like Application Id by keeping references (Successors, OI, ETT) Delete Operations by keeping internal and external dependencies Copy Applications, Operations, Calendars etc. from from Test to Production

Example (1) Change Operation No: Automatically: Change the Operation No. in predecessor definitions of all successors! Change Operation No: * SEARCH CRITERIA ADID=M*APPL* OPNO=99 * ACTION PARAMETER RECORD=ADOP ACTION=MODIFY * UPDATE PARAMETER NEWOPNO=255 ... * SEARCH CRITERIA PREADID=M*APPL* PREOPNO=99 * ACTION PARAMETER RECORD=ADDEP ACTION=MODIFY * UPDATE PARAMETER NEWPREOPNO=255 ...

Example (2) Keep dependencies! Delete Operations: 10 12 20 33 30 *SEARCH CRITERIA ADID=MYAPPL OPNO=20 *ACTION PARAMETER RECORD=ADOP ACTION=DELETE RESTORE_DEPENDECY_NET=Y 10 12 33 30 Keep dependencies!

Example (3) Test JCL with TWS Variables Test Production Variables The Problem: JCL with TWS Variables Test JCL with TWS Variables The Solution: 1) Copy Variables with TWS/BatchAD Test Production 2) Simulate Variables with SmartJCL Variables Variables JCL JCL SmartJCL JCL Checker

TWS/BatchAD TWS/BatchAD has an ISPF dialog. Makes it easier to generate TWS/BatchAD control cards Samples and templates are available online Integrated history function to access control cards that where generated previousely GA Q3 2006

TWS/BatchAD – ISPF Dialog Import/Export Standard Fuctions History and Examples

TWS/BatchAD – ISPF Dialog Let‘s change the start time of all jobs belonging to applications ABC* from 22:30 to 23:00

TWS/BatchAD - MainMenu Type M (odify)

TWS/BatchAD - Select Object Specify 12 to modify operations

TWS/BatchAD - Select ADCOM Specify application selection criteria

TWS/BatchAD - Select ADOP Specify operation selection criteria
