Swimming Through and Tapping Out a CA-7 Mainframe Scheduler on a Unix Server
Overview In a large organization, security concerns often preclude CA7 mainframe scheduler tools from being available to SAS developers. New and inventive ways must be discovered to submit mainframe (MVS) jobs on a reliable basis. One method involves the invocation of a UNIX Cron Job and SAS Connect logic. The combination of using the CRON feature on the UNIX server with the many SAS features has made this a very reliable and successful scheduling technique. This paper will review how to create a CRON job and configure a mainframe job with JCL to enable the program to emulate a CA7 scheduler.
