For an example of a job-recovery strategy, consider the transaction log processing
example from the previous steps. The recovery strategy for this application is to reduce
operator intervention by partially automating job recovery and restart functions.
Implementation of the strategy is by means of TMF software (for transaction recovery)
and the IFFAILS, RESTART, STALL, and STOP-ON-ABEND attributes. Table 4-2
records information applicable to this strategy for jobs that make up the application.
