Overview
IOF Release 8C now contains all of the features you should
need to completely manage all aspects of your JES2 environment.
While providing significant new functions for operators and
systems staff, end users will be unaffected because the new
options will not appear on their IOF Option Menu.
Release 8C supports all versions of z/OS through V1R9.
Note that recent changes to JES2 in V1R9 require that additional
minor changes be made to IOF. Maintenance to implement
these changes will soon be available.
The 8C IOF
Option Menu has three new primary options for users who are
authorized to these new functions:
- JBC - Job Classes
- SPV - Spool Volumes
- NOD - JES2 Nodes
Authorized IOF users can now display and manage input job
classes using the new IOF Job Class Display. This panel displays all defined job classes
in the system and allows modifying class characteristics.

Authorized users can change class characteristics by
overtyping on these panels. The JOBS line command causes a Job List Menu
of all input and running jobs in the class to be
displayed.
See the JOBCLASS parmameter description in Chapter 3 of the JES2 Initialization and Tuning Reference
manual for the meaning of each of the job class parameters.
Authorized IOF users can now display, activate, or drain JES2 spool
volumes using the new IOF Spool Volume Display.
The state and characteristics of each JES2 spool volume is shown
on the display. Scroll right to see additional information
about each spool pack.

The Spool Volume Detail Display which shows all the
information about a spool volume is invoked by the S line
command. Available commands for each spool volume are
shown at the top of the detail display.

Individual spool volumes can be started or drained by users
with sufficient authority. The
JOBS command produces a Job List Menu of all jobs
with all or part of their data residing on the volume.
This display can be very useful when draining a spool volume to
easily show exactly which jobs still reside on the volume.
If the site runs the IOF Job Archival and Retrieval
system described in Chapter 26 of the IOF/TSO Installation
Guide, authorized users can use the OFFLOAD command on
the Job List Menu to cause all jobs on the volume to be offloaded by JES2 offloaders.
After the volume is drained, the offloaded jobs can be uploaded to the remaining
spool volumes on the system.
Authorized IOF users can now display and manage NJE nodes using the NJE
Nodes Display Each node defined to JES2 is shown on the
display.

Node characteristics can be changed by overtyping fields on
both panels. Passwords entered on these panels are not be displayed.
Dynamic Option Menu
The three new options have been added to the IOF Option
Menu for those users who are authorized to use them.
To learn more about how to control which options appear on the IOF Option Menu, visit
virtual help desk
problem C09. This web page describes the SAF resources and
ALLOW macros that control each option on the menu. It also
describes overrides on the GROUP macro that give the installer
direct control over the options each user sees.

Most users will not see all the options on the menu.
A typical option menu for operators and administrative personnel might
look like the panel below.

End users will continue to see a very abbreviated option
menu so installing release 8C will have minimal impact on them. A typical end user
option menu is shown below.

The specific options each user sees is controlled by the
local installation.
See virtual
web page C09 for detailed information about how to control
the options each user sees.
The SNAPPAN command has been expanded to function on
the Job Classes Display, Spool Volume Display and
the NJE Node Display. SNAPPAN can be used on any
IOF list panel to snap a copy of the displayed panel to a sysout
or disk data set. The SS or SD command must
be used to define the target snap data set prior to entering
SNAPPAN.
Records generated by SNAPPAN contain all the data on the
corresponding panel line, including all undisplayed data to the right of the
displayed data. The LRECL for disk target data sets must be
sufficiently large to contain the panel lines. Each panel
requires a different record length. Health Checker requires at
least LRECL(627). It is recommended that disk data sets be
allocated with LRECL(999) RECFM(VB).
SNAPPAN is available on the following panels:
- Job List Menu
- Output Group
Display
- Job Summary
- Monitor
- Enclaves
- Unix Processes
- Input Queue
- WLM Scheduling Envvironments
- WLM Resources
- Health Checker
- Job Classes
- NJE Nodes
- Spool Volumes
