Field Descriptions
Restart
Use the Restart field to set the RESTART job attribute. The attribute specifies whether
the job is restarted automatically if it fails during execution for any of the following
reasons:
•
The executor program process stops or abends with completion code 7. This code
indicates to the scheduler the job is to be restarted if its RESTART attribute is ON.
For more information on completion codes, see the Guardian Procedure Calls
Reference Manual.
•
The executor program process terminates because of CPU failure. This reason
does not apply if the process has a backup that successfully takes over job
execution.
•
A process created by the executor program process terminates because of CPU
failure, and the job has the attribute STOP-ON-ABEND ON.
The options for the Restart field are:
If you submit the job without specifying its RESTART attribute, the job adopts the
attribute RESTART OFF.
Hold
Use the Hold field to set the HOLD job attribute. The attribute specifies whether a job
be placed on hold as soon as you submit it. The field options are:
If you submit a job without specifying its HOLD attribute, the job adopts the attribute
HOLD OFF.
Any User Submit
Use the Any User Submit field to specify whether any user can submit the job on the
Ad Hoc Job Selection screen. The field options are:
Y Yes specifies the attribute RESTART ON. The job is restarted if it fails during execution
for any of the reasons listed previously. Execution of a restarted job begins at the start
of the job, not from where it stopped.
There is no limit to the number of times a job is restarted while the failure condition
continues.
N No specifies the attribute RESTART OFF. The job is not restarted if it fails during
execution.
Y Yes specifies the attribute HOLD ON. The job is placed on hold as soon as you submit
it. The job is flagged with a state of SPECIAL-1 and does not run until you change the
attribute to HOLD OFF.
N No specifies the attribute HOLD OFF. The job is available for execution as soon as you
submit it.
