Using XPSTRACK

The XPSTRACK job step program can be used to add jobs to OpCon as tracked external jobs.

Example
//OPCON EXEC PGM=XPSTRACK,

// PARM='[[$NOW]],L1Test,IVPJOB08,ONRequest,PROP1=Val1'

The parameters are separated by commas, and are similar to those used in $JOB:ADD events:

  • Schedule date
  • Schedule name
  • Job name
  • Frequency
  • Job instance properties

All parameters are optional, but if later parameters are needed, any skipped parameters must be added by commas (e.g.: To specify job instance variables but accept the defaults for everything else, specify: PARM=',,,,,MyParm=MyValue')

If XPSTRACK is executed in a job already being tracked, it will be ignored.
