To run Space Monitor, use the IBM® supplied cataloged procedure
or prepare JCL of your own.
About this task
The following procedure describes how to code JCL for Space Monitor.
Procedure
To use Space Monitor, complete
the following steps:
- If IMS database data
sets are to be monitored, ensure that HD Pointer Checker (with HISTORY=YES
option) is run against the database data sets in advance (at least
once) to create entries in the HISTORY data set. Otherwise, the database
data sets are treated as OS data sets.
- Determine whether to use a JCL procedure or to prepare
JCL of your own.
- Code the JCL statements. If you use a JCL procedure, also
modify the JCL procedure to suit your environment.
- Specify the data sets to be monitored in the FABKCTL data
set, the control member data set (SPMNMBR), or in the SPMNIN data
set.
See Input to
code the input data sets.
- Run the Space Monitor job.
- Interpret the outputs to verify that the process completed
successfully.
See Output to
interpret Space Monitor output.
What to do next
IMS HP Pointer Checker
provides the Space Monitor Site
Default Generation utility. By using this utility, you can set your
own default value for the Space Monitor control
statements. Use this utility if you want to change the system default
values of the Space Monitor control statements. For more information,
see Space Monitor Site Default Generation utility.
