Field Descriptions
If you submit the job without specifying its SELPRI attribute, the job adopts the
DEFAULT-SELPRI scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler attribute, use the
Scheduler Info screen.
Job selection is by job submission time if jobs with the same SELPRI attribute are
scheduled to run at the same time.
Iffails
Use the Iffails field to set the IFFAILS job attribute. The attribute specifies whether a
recurrent job is to be rescheduled automatically if it fails during execution for either of
these reasons (a recurrent job is a job with the CALENDAR or EVERY attribute):
•
A process created by the executor program process failed for any of the preceding
reasons, and the job has the attribute STOP-ON-ABEND ON.
•
The executor program process failed because of CPU failure, abended with any
completion code, or stopped with completion code -3, -2, -1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. For
descriptions of these codes, see Table 6-4 on page 6-113.
The options for the Iffails field are:
If you submit the job without specifying its IFFAILS attribute, the job adopts the
attribute IFFAILS OFF.
Waiton Jobs
Use the Waiton Jobs fields to set the WAITON attribute of the current job. The attribute
specifies that execution of the job depends on up to eight other jobs. A job with the
WAITON attribute is a dependent job. The jobs on which it depends are its master jobs.
To set the attribute, enter the master jobs’ names. These jobs can run in any scheduler
on any system.
The dependent job does not run until released by all its masters. To enable master jobs
to release the dependent job, include the TACL macro ZBAT:RELEASE or the
NBEXEC command $RELEASE in the input file of each master job:
•
Use the ZBAT:RELEASE macro if the master job’s executor program is a TACL
process
Y Specifies the attribute IFFAILS ON. The job is rescheduled if it fails during execution for
any of the reasons listed previously.
A job with the IFFAILS ON attribute is not rescheduled if it also has the attribute
RESTART OFF and stops because of CPU failure. In these circumstances, the job is
flagged with a state of SPECIAL-6.
N Specifies the attribute IFFAILS OFF. The job is not rescheduled if it fails during execution.
It is flagged with a state of SPECIAL-5 or SPECIAL-6, depending on its RESTART
attribute. If the RESTART attribute is ON, the job is flagged with a state of SPECIAL-5. If
the RESTART attribute is OFF, the job is flagged with a state of SPECIAL-6.
