Execute UMET from z/OS Manager (with Table on z/OS)

Execute Universal Message Translator from z/OS Manager (in a Script with Table Housed on z/OS)

The following figure illustrates the execution of Universal Message Translator from a z/OS Universal Command Manager.

//S1 EXEC UCMDPRC                                      
//UNVIN    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.umet.table
//SCRIPTDD DD *                                                     
UCOPY > c:\temp\umet.table
umet -table c:\temp\umet.table -file c:\temp\bkup.log -level verbose                   
/*                                                                  
//SYSIN   DD  *
-host dallas      
-script SCRIPTDD  
-userid joe 
-pwd abcdefg  
/*

The message table is stored and maintained on z/OS and copied down to the server upon execution. The -table option points to the table of defined return codes based on text. The -file option points to the text file to be interrogated.

The first command copies the messages table from the UNVIN DD of the manager process to a server file named c:\temp\umet.table. The UMET program then is executed to interrogate the log file and set the return code based on the translation table.
