Start Import into OnDemand (STRIMPOND)

The Start Import into OnDemand (STRIMPOND) command allows you to import data into OnDemand. This command is used only if you have migrated your index data to an alternate media (such as optical or tape), which is not recommended, but may be necessary in some cases.

INSTANCE	Instance	Character value, QUSROND	Optional
SBMJOB	Submit to batch	YES, NO	Optional
JOBD	Job description	Qualified object name	Optional

Top

Application group (APPGRP)

Specifies the name of the application group to be used in the import process.

This is a required parameter.

Note: If you press the F4 key for this parameter while prompting the command, a list of the valid entries is presented to you. The entries listed may not be valid if the parameter INSTANCE is not QUSROND.

name: Specify the application group name. If the value to be entered contains lower case letters, blanks, or special characters, it must enclosed in apostrophes.
Note: The application group to use is available from the system log message that requests the index data to be imported.

Index table to import (IDXTBL)

Specifies the table name that contains index data to import.

Note: The table name to use is available from the system log message that requests the index data to be imported.

Instance (INSTANCE)

Specifies the name of the instance to use.

QUSROND: The default OnDemand instance is used.
instance-name: Specify the name of the instance that is to be used. By definition, the instance must be on the system that the command is run.
library-server-name: Specify the TCP/IP host name of the library server. The name can also be specified as a TCP/IP dotted decimal address in the form of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.
When a server name or TCP/IP address is entered, OnDemand uses the instance on that server that is using the default port. In most cases, this will also use the default instance.

Submit to batch (SBMJOB)

Specify if you want to import the data interactively or in a batch job.

*YES: This command should be submitted to run in a different job.
*NO: This command should be run within the current job. If you are entering this command from a terminal, this will prevent you from doing any other work from this terminal session until this command completes.

Job description (JOBD)

Specifies the name of the job description used for the submitted job.

Qualifier 1: Job description

QOND400: The QOND400 job description is used as the job description for the submitted job.
name: Specify the name (name/name) of the job description used for the job.

Qualifier 2: Library

QRDARS: Library QRDARS is used as the job description's library.
*LIBL: All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.
*CURLIB: The current library for the job is used to locate the job description name. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, QGPL is used.
name: Specify the name of the library where the job description name is located.

Examples

Example 1: Simple Example

STRIMPOND APPGRP(CHECKSTMTS) IDXTBL(CAA4)

This command submits a job to batch to import back to disk the migrated CHECKSTMTS index data. This command example uses the default OnDemand instance called QUSROND, and the default job description called QOND400.

Example 2: More Complex Example

STRIMPOND APPGRP(CHECKSTMTS) IDXTBL(CAA4) INSTANCE(ACCTING)
            SBMJOB(*NO)

This command is similar to Example 1 but runs interactively and uses the ACCTING instance.
