Using Catalog Attachments
Using Catalog Attachments
A catalog attachment is an ASSIGN, PARAM, or DEFINE that any number of different
jobs can share. (The NetBatch-Plus application supports five types of DEFINEs:
defaults, map, spool, SQL catalog, and tape.)
Catalog attachments simplify entry and maintenance of NetBatch-Plus job descriptions
for much the same reasons as defaults sets. A single catalog attachment can be used
by many jobs and therefore enables you to make quick and easy changes to
attachment details.
Figure 1-4 on page 1-8 shows details of PARAMs attached to four different jobs. The
PARAMs for JOBX, JOBY, and JOBZ use a catalog PARAM to supply their attributes.
