XINFO and CA-7
XINFO is an Add-On to CA-7 and offers:
•
•
•
•
Easy-to-read job netplans to analyze and optimize your
jobflow definitions.
Fast search functions. All attributes can be used in
queries, e.g.
– Which jobs didn’t run for a while
– Which jobs have EXEC=N
Control your naming conventions and standards
automatically
– e.g. check if JCL ID is correct
Allows “non-experts” easy access to CA-7 definitions

SCHIDs and triggering in CA-7 netplans
XINFO CA-7 generates a variant for every job and
every schid. See example below and the matching
netplan (next slide) :
•
JOBA runs Monday with 001 and Tuesday with 002
Following triggers are defined:
• JOBA SCHID=000 => JOBB
• JOBB SCHID=000 => JOBC
• JOBA SCHID=002 => JOBD
