Data Store

About this task

Data Store is a separate address space. Its function is to collect structured (steps and data sets) and, optionally, unstructured (SYSOUT) information for all submitted jobs.

Data Store is required if you want to use the Restart and Cleanup functions:

Restart at the job or step level
Data set clean up
JOBLOG retrieval

The controller can be connected to Data Store using XCF or SNA, or TCP/IP.
