This chapter contains a functional description of the openFT commands for users and administrators.
The functional command description provides a quick overview of which commands are available for which tasks.
This is followed by an explanation of how to enter the commands and of the notational conventions used in chapter “openFT commands”.
All commands described in the manual can be entered directly at a TSO dialog terminal.
The commands FJGEN, FJGENPAR, FJUPDPAR and FJINIT are described in the manual "openFT (z/OS) - Installation and Operation".
Requirements
In order to use the menu interface, the following requirements have to be fulfilled:
The libraries necessary for using the command interface are concatenated for the desired instance.
For details, see the manual "openFT (z/OS) - Installation and Operation".
Setting an openFT instance
The commands always apply to the currently set openFT instance. If you want to use an instance other than STD you must set the instance:
The CLIST <openft qualifier>.<inst>.CLIST must be concatenated
The file <openft qualifier>.<inst>.CONN must be allocated with the DD name OPENFT.
The FT administrator defines the specifications for the OPENFT QUALIFIER and the name of the instance (<inst>) when setting up the instance.
In a running TSO session, you can perform these allocations manually. This means, for example, that you can also change the openFT instance within the TSO session. You should store the necessary commands in a CLIST and execute these in TSO mode. You can also record the name of this CLIST in a LOGON procedure so that the commands are always executed when you log on.
Example of this type of CLIST with instance INST2
ALLOCATE FILE(SYSPROC) DATASET('ISP.SISPCLIB') REUSE SHR
ALLOC DSNAME('OPENFTQU.INST2.CONN') DDNAME(OPENFT) SHR REUSE
TSOLIB ACT DATASET(’OPENFTQU.OPENFT.NCLOAD’)
