Script Operations
The TCz software supports scripting for managing pre-defined TCz operations.
The TCz scripting function enables you to define multiple TCz operations in a
text file that the TCz software reads and executes as a batch file. Scripting
allows you to perform a series of TCz operations without having to issue the
commands separately. Using TCz scripting, you can set up and execute a large
number of TCz commands within a short period of time. The TCz scripting
function enables you to:
• save time by executing multiple TCz operations with a single command
• run a series of predefined and tested TCz operations after hours or overnight,
and/or
• allow a non-resident system administrator to set up and start an entire day’s
worth of TCz operations in the limited time that the administrator is on-site.
Caution: Do not perform TCz operations using the TrueCopy for z/OS windows
while the scripting function is being executed. To perform operations on the
TrueCopy for z/OS windows, wait until the script is complete, or make sure
that the script in execution is aborted.
The Script Operation window (see Figure 4-11) displays information for the
script being executed. This section describes the selection and execution of an
existing TCz script file.
