Hello all, maybe someone can help me with the following issue:
I'm testing the use of the ETT file triggering in order to put an application in the current plan whe a file is created; I've followed the manual instructions and first I've tested by creating the file thru TSO and it works fine;
By submiting thru the IBM util IEBGENER when it creates the file, it also works;
Finally, when creating the file thru the util IEFBR14, it does not trigger the application on the current PLAN.

Does anyone has an idea of the reason why ?

thank you in advance

Probably because IEFBR14 does not access the dataset (it's not a file) so the relevant SMF records are not created.

At one level I agree with Mr. Clouston. I have no idea what SMF records TWS looks for. I think - mind you I do not have any expertise on this area - that an IEFBR14 step like this will create SMF data acceptable to TWS.
Code:
//...     EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//...      DD  DISP=(,CATLG),...,DSN=...
I think cataloging the data set is a requirement. I do not think defining a tape data set using JCL like this will work; only defining a disk data set will work.

If TWS also wants to see type 15 records as Mr. Clouston thinks, then you will have to write a dummy IEBGENER like this, or an equivalent.
Code:
//...     EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1   DD  DUMMY
//SYSUT2   DD  DISP=(,CATLG),...,DSN=...
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY
You will have to code appropriate DCB parameters on the SYSUT1 and SYSUT2 DD statements. If that doesn't work, then you will have to contact TWS support for additional guidance.

ETT looks for SMF records created by CLOSE action. Since IEFBR14 doesn't perform OPEN/CLOSE action against the allocated dataset, the trigger doesn't work.

Yeah, you're right ! IEFBR14 does not create an OPEN/CLOSE action against SMF

Many thanks !
