Running the Inquisitor Import

The HSISIQIM job in the JCLLIB library performs the Inquisitor Import. This job is generated from the HSISCUST post-installation customization job.

About this task

Warning: This job will terminate immediately if the GKB version referenced by the job is older than 12 months. To rerun this job you need to:
  • Download the PTF containing the latest GKB version.
  • Run HSISGKBL to load the latest GKB version.
  • Rerun HSISIQIM.

Run-time for the HSISIQIM job depends on the number of modules to be imported into the database Inquisitor tables. Because the processing is memory-intensive, run the HSISIQIM job during off-peak periods.

Procedure

  1. In the HSISIQIM job, update the following parameters, according to your requirements:
    • FULLREMATCH: Set to Y (default), to process all libraries in the in the repository. For a given system ID (SID), existing libraries in the repository are marked as deleted unless the libraries are found in the scanned Inquisitor file. For shared libraries (where PLX=Y), the scanned Inquisitor file can be from any SID that belongs to the sysplex. For non-shared libraries (where PLX=N), the scanned Inquisitor file must be from the same SID. The deletions include products, libraries, and modules. For more information on the setting of PLX=Y, see Scenario 5: Implementing in a sysplex environment.

      Set to N to skip import from scanned libraries where no member directories have changed since a previous Inquisitor Import to the same Repository.

    • PRODUCTONLY: Set to N to import all modules, including unidentified modules. Set to Y to import only matched modules.
    The settings for both of these parameters influence the duration of the import process.
  2. Review and modify other parameters, as required, in the PARMLIB member.
  3. Submit the HSISIQIM job.
