BIM-EPIC Dispatcher
The BIM-EPIC Dispatcher executes as a “never–ending” program in a VSE/ESA dynamic or
static partition. It accepts and processes various BIM-EPIC requests that may be long–
running. As work is being done, various subtasks are automatically initiated by the BIM-EPIC
Dispatcher. Once a subtask begins, it remains in the BIM-EPIC Dispatcher environment until
explicitly ended with an EP STname command or until the BIM-EPIC Dispatcher is ended.
BIM-EPIC must be started before starting the Dispatcher.
When BIM-EPIC is ended with the TSIDOFF program, the Dispatcher will also end as part of
OFF processing.
At present the BIM-EPIC Dispatcher is used only in an ACL environment
The JCL to initiate the BIM-EPIC Dispatcher is:
// JOB TSIDTASK
// SETPFIX LIMIT=100K
// EXEC TSIDTASK,SIZE=TSIDTASK
/&
The following Attention Routine commands are available to manage the BIM-EPIC
Dispatcher environment:
Command Action
EP TSTAT Displays any work requests waiting to be processed by the
BIM-EPIC Dispatcher.
EP TRQ CANCEL n Deletes a work request that has not been processed by the BIM-
EPIC Dispatcher. n is the identification number of the request
to be deleted. It is obtained using the EP TSTAT command.
EP END TASK Ends BIM-EPIC Dispatcher processing
EP END STname Terminates a BIM-EPIC Dispatcher subtask. This command
should be used only when directed by BIM-EPIC Technical
Support. name is the name of the subtask being ended. ACL
is a valid subtask name.
The following command ends the ACL support subtask.
EP END STACL
