Hello everybody,
We all must have seen SAR as a product that is installed on a mainframe which can store the jobs (for archival). We also have a program called as SARBCH which is basically used to dump job information into a dataset through a batch job.
Now there is an other product called as "CONTROL-M" reporting which does the same purpose as SAR, ie., archive jobs. Now Iam not able to find any batch version of CONTROL-M,so that if i give the jobname (and the date if possible) should dump the job info onto a dataset. (something similar to SARBCH)
Now the question is does anybody know of any batch utility for this CONTROL-M.
If not, what are the other possible ways.
The one possible way what i explored is SMF. Take a dump out of it, put it through an SMF Formatting program, get the details what you want.
I somehow convinced my Admin people for a SMF dump formatting program (COBOL) (my admins know nothing abt the COBOL pgm) . But I was not able to make any good progress through it. The reason being, they take data from specific places and do some compuations. My question is what these "specific places" contain and "what compuations" they are. (is there any copybook structure that is available, that tells, these postions contrain this). Has anybody out here got a program with comments which clearly explains all of these things.
Im looking out for Record Type 30.
One last question, suppose if you have a SORT/FILEAID job, obviously they contain in their SYSOUT that RECORD INSERTED/DELETED counts.
"Which SMF record types" contain this information.

coolman,
The CONTROL-M Application Program Interface (CTMAPI) is an open interface between the application environment and CONTROL-M. CTMAPI enables your application program to interface with CONTROL-M so that you can access services and extract data from CONTROL-M into your own
programs.CTMAPI is open to all application environments. It can be called from the following programs or environments:
High Level Language or Assembler programs, running under various environments, such as CICS, IMS
A batch job or step
REXX or CLIST
You can use the SEARCH PARM for extracting the Job info.
CTMAPI is very well documented in the user guide of the CONTROL-M.

Kolusu,
Searched the net for "CONTROL-M Application Program Interface (CTMAPI)" but was not able to find any hits that matched my requirement of a batch job/step (like SARBCH). Do you have any doc/link that talks abt it.
