Use the Upload Copy Member to Host parameterized
build request to upload modified copybooks to the mainframe before
submitting a compile request.
About this task
If the source program selected to be compiled or built contains
any copybook that has changed since the last compile request, the
updated copybook needs to be uploaded to mainframe before the build
request is submitted.
Procedure
To submit an Upload Copy Member to Host request,
do these steps.
- Open a VOB whose elements have been enabled for parameterized
build.
- Right-click a COBOL copybook and then click Upload
Copy Member to Host.
A command window
opens with debug messages showing the status of the upload request.
- When the upload has completed successfully, press any key
to exit the command window.
Results
The copybook member is saved in a PDS on the mainframe named
USERID.XCOPYLIB(YOURCOPY), where
USERID is the TSO login ID of the user making the request and
YOURCOPY is the name of the copybook. This PDS will be searched first for the
copybook during the compilation. The output log
yourcopy.cpy_uploadcopybook.log, where yourcopy.cpy is the
name of the copybook, is located in VOB directory. The BCL upload.jcl for
uploading the file is located in VOB/userid directory in
ClearCase®, where VOB is the path
of the VOB and userid is your TSO user ID. The following example shows the BCL
generated by an upload
