Running the Inquisitor program

Use the HZACINQZ job in hzac.HZACCONT.CNTL to run the Inquisitor for z/OS.

About this task

The length of time it takes this job to run depends on the number of volumes and libraries to be scanned. Run this job during off-peak periods.

The output file generated from the job should be transferred to the Linux for Z ZAO UI web-based interface menu selection "Import -> Perform Import Processing" for uploading and import processing. The transfer format must be in binary.

Procedure

  1. In the HZACINQZ job, check the values for the following parameters and change if necessary:
    • The ALLMSGparameter requests both DSNMSG and PGMMSG message logging.

    • The PLX parameter is set to Y (yes) if you plan to collect data for a sysplex and otherwise set to N (no).

    • Review information about the PLX parameter before you set this option.

    • The LLQ parameter is set to Z&SMF. You can change this value if you want to generate data sets with unique names without changing the JCL library. These values are set when the HZACINQZ job is created.

  2. Optional: In the program parameter string, you can specify a report message level and an override to the system identifier. Use commas to separate the various settings specified within the program parameter string.
  3. 3. Run the HZACINQZ job.
