I am considering to run multiple ARSYSPIN started tasks to load different mix of reports into different mix of Application Groups.
Here is the use case:
- 2 different JES3 CLASSes (let's say CLASS=A and CLASS=B) will be monitored for input
- 9 different FORMs that represent 9 different applications will be ingested into up to 9 different AGs depending on retention
I am considering to run multiple ARSYSPIN clones such that:
1. ARSYSPN1 is configured to read SELFORM=(FRM1) from JESCLASS=AB and store into APPL="FRM1", APPLGROUP="FRM1"
2. ARSYSPN2 is configured to read SELFORM=(FRM2) from JESCLASS=AB and store into APPL="FRM2", APPLGROUP="FRM2"
... and so on
From what I can understand by reading the reference manual, the parameters should allow me to do this as long as I clone ARSYSPIN and customize it properly. Here is where I am looking for reference:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQHWE_10.1.0/com.ibm.ondemand.administeringzos.doc/doday002.htmMy Questions:
- Has anybody tried tweaking ARSYSPIN and running multiples of it with different parameters against same CLASS(es)?
- Is this a viable approach?
- Do you see any problems with this approach?
I appreciate your insights and any feedback you may have before I start experimenting with the idea.
