To Whom It May Concern:

Is it possable to logon a TSO ID via a batch job? I was thinking maybe program IKJEFT01could do this task. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello,

I was thinking maybe program IKJEFT01could do this task

You can "run TSO" in batch using IKJEFT01. This jcl would rename a datasaet:

Select all

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1B
//*
//SYSTERM DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD DUMMY
//SVHCON DD DUMMY
//*
//SYSTSIN DD *
RENAME 'old.data.set' 'new.data.set'
//*

Hi Dick

I apppreciate your response to my question. I was curious if it was possible to submit a batch job that would log on a ID to TSO. We have to recycle a TSO id every 12 hours that is permantly logged onto TSO. I can cancel the ID via a batch job, by issuing the cancel command, but I don't know if it's possible to log on a TSO ID via a batch job.

You're welcome

How is the id currently logged on each day? When you "display active", does this is show as a TSUxxx JobID?

Started tasks (STCs) are often initiated by a batch or scheduler submission. I don't know if this is do-able for a tso user task.

Hi Dick

The ID can be displayed in SDSF TBPROD6. The ID is manually loged on to TSO. Since the ID needs to be recycled, I want to setup a batch job that will cancell the ID which I can do, but I want the job to log the I back on in the 2nd.

Hello,

The ID is manually loged on to TSO

This logon happens at some terminal? I don't know if you can start an id at some terminal from a batch job. What does this id "do" - what service does it provide?

The ID can be displayed in SDSF TBPROD6.

That is probably the "JOBNAME". What is the JobID?

Hi Dick

I not sure where to find the JOBID. TBPROD6 is the job name when displayed in SDSF.

Select all

JOBNAME STEPNAME PROCSTEP JNUM SYSN C PO SR SIO CPU% EXCP-CNT TYPE
TBPROD6 APLLOGON TCPD0311 60655 DSYS LO TI 0.00 0.00 418 TSU

Hello,

On your system this is shown as jnum (60655) and type (TSU). On mine it shows as jobid (TSU60655). The TSU identifies this as a tso user.

To repeat:

This logon happens at some terminal? I don't know if you can start an id at some terminal from a batch job. What does this id "do" - what service does it provide?

Why is this id logged on every day? What would happen if this is was not logged on?
