Running the UTILX Utility

You can execute the UTILX utility program in the following ways:

  • Using a RUN command in a CANDE or MARC session, in a WFL job, or at an ODT.

    The RUN command must be of the form RUN *SYSTEM/UTILX(̎<command line>̎).

  • Using the UX CANDE command.

    Note: Another command, the UTILITY CANDE command, transmits all input in uppercase, which can result in errors or unexpected behavior for external tasks with case-sensitive input. Therefore, Unisys does not recommend using the UTILITY command to run the UTILX utility.

The UTILX utility requires a valid NXSERVICES credentials file to securely access the external system. For details on creating a credentials file, refer to the topic, “MAKECREDENTIALS Utility.”
