Andy,

You will get a JCL error when the job tries to fetch the JCL from the library.

vak255,

OPC stands for OPERATIONS PLANNING AND CONTROL. check this link for more information

The link was a bit more advanced, it tells much of Tivoli which i know is related to storage management but can u briefly tell me wht is operations planning and control.Is this related to storage management, like data migration etc.

Vak255,

OPC = Operation Planning And Control which is a set of IBM licensed programs that automate, plan, and control batch workload. OPC analyzes system and workload status and submits jobs accordingly.

For more information, read chapter 3 in the below link

Hope this helps...

Vak255,

Keep in mind that, when you are talking about OPC and Tivoli products, you are talking about products that span control across your entire enterprise, not just the mainframe.

Vak255,

I think the DP in this case is Data Processing which is an act of performing systematic operations on data.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

OPC is now called Tivoli Workload Scheduler. The controller runs on MVS but it can control the workload on other platforms, too.

An OSUF error is usually seen when JCL is scheduled but not found in the OPC libraries.
