Reading Spectrum Data Change Records
The SH-HISTORY and LN-HISTORY datasets (HISTRY database) contain data change records that are stored in a binary format. AskPlus provides two special functions designed to read and interpret these records. To use these functions the datachng.sl (or .so Itanium) must be installed in the /ASKPLUS directory. An AskPlus job is also available that extracts specific data change records based on their TYPE and ENTRY-DATE.
VSRVTCP Issues
Do I need the listener job to be running when I stream batch jobs?
Possibly yes. If the RUN command for AskPlus uses the "-Ausername" option in the INFO parameter, then the listener job MUST be running. The "-Ausername" option tells AskPlus to use the same environment as that configured for the specified username. Visimage 2.2.8 and higher always generates this syntax when creating batch jobs to ensure that the job will have the same environment as the interactive user that created it.
How do I Shutdown the Listener Job?
The listener job can be shutdown using the host command KILLVSRV. The syntax is:
- KILLVSRV.PUBTCP.ASKPLUS -password
The password must match the password in the VSRVINI file for the VSRVMGR Manager.
