iDocs Engine Options
Create FMGBATCH Subsystem
If FMGBATCH subsystem does not already exist this option creates it. By default it reserves 4 MB of storage for the subsystem and has a maximum of 2 concurrent jobs; that allows one engine to run in the subsystem and permits the end engine option to work. FMGJOBQ jobqueue is created to route jobs into the subsystem.
Following are the steps to create FMG subsystem:
- Create class
- Create job queue
- Create job description
- Create subsystem description
- Add job queue entry
- Add routing table entry
Details are below:
1. Create class (or user can use the existing class): define priority and wait time for running jobs
· CRTCLS CLS(&LIB/FMGCLS) RUNPTY(15) TIMESLICE(500) PURGE(*NO) DFTWAIT(120) TEXT('iDocs Subsystem Class')
2. Create job queue (or user can use the system job queue QBATCH): job queue contains entries for job that are waiting to be processed by the system
· CRTJOBQ JOBQ(&LIB/FMGJOBQ) TEXT(‘iDocs Job Queue’)
3. Create job description
· CRTJOBD JOBD(&LIB/FMGJOBD) JOBQ(&LIB/FMGJOBQ) TEXT('iDocs Job Description') RTGDTA('iDocs Job')
Or using QBATCH
· CRTJOBD JOBD(&LIB/FMGJOBD) JOBQ(&LIB/QBATCH) TEXT('iDocs Job Description') RTGDTA('iDocs Job')
4. Create subsystem
· CRTSBSD SBSD(QGPL/FMGBATCH) POOLS((1 *BASE *N)) MAXJOBS(*NOMAX) TEXT('iDocs Subsystem')
5. Add job queue entry
· ADDJOBQE SBSD(QGPL/FMGBATCH) JOBQ(QGPL/FMGJOBQ) MAXACT(*NOMAX) SEQNBR(10)MAXPTY1(*NOMAX)
6. Add routing table entry
· ADDRTGE SBSD(&LIB/FMGBATCH) SEQNBR(9999) CMPVAL(*ANY) PGM(QSYS/QCMD) CLS(&LIB/FMGCLS)
Schedule an Engine to Start/stop
This option creates job schedule entries to start and stop engines. The job schedule, an OS/400 utility, may be viewed with WRKJOBSCDE command. You must uniquely name the start and end jobs.
IMPORTANT: If you want the engine status to display in the engine list display, you must give as the start job name the name of the engine. See the example immediately below:
iDocs Schedule Entry (ADDFMGSCDE)
Type choices, press Enter.
Schedule Multiple Engines:
iDocs engine name . . . . . . MYENGINE Value, or F4 for list
Starting Job Name . . . . . . MYENGINE Character value
Starting Scheduled Time . . . 09:00:00 00:00:00-24:00:00
Ending Job Name . . . . . . . ENDMYENG Character value
Ending Schedule Time . . . . . 17:00:00 00:00:00-24:00:00

Therefore, some attributes may be lost, such as key field attribute. This option is not recommended, but it might be helpful in case you don’t have a DDS source of the database, and it will help you to re-create the object.
- Codepage : Enter the codepage of IFS file. The default value is the codepage of current job. In order to ensure that you type a correct value, please open the XML file and search out the value of attribute as400codepage, type this value for Codepage field
- IFS path of XML file : Enter the IFS qualified name of input XML file.
Notes: The data of XML file must not contain the unprintable ASCII characters, such as Null (0x00), Escape (0x1B)… or the conversion program might fail.
