State Description
EVENT The job has the WAITON attribute and does not run until released by its
master jobs. When the job is released, its state changes to READY or
TAPE, depending on its requirement for tape drives. For more information
on the WAITON attribute, see Job Info
on page 6-120.
EXECUTING The job is running.
READY The job is available for execution. It is selected when an executor
associated with its class is available and no RUNNOW or RUNNEXT jobs
are waiting.
The job remains in the READY state if its class has the attribute
INITIATION OFF. This attribute prevents jobs belonging to the class from
running. To make the jobs available for execution, use the Class Details
screen to set the attribute to INITIATION ON.
RUNNEXT The job runs as soon as an executor associated with its class is available.
It is selected ahead of READY jobs but after RUNNOW jobs.
The job remains in the RUNNEXT state when an executor is available if
either of the following conditions exists:
•
The job has the TAPEDRIVES attribute and requires more drives than
are available. For more information on this attribute, see Job Info on
page 6-120.
•
The job’s class has the attribute INITIATION OFF. This attribute
prevents jobs belonging to the class from running. To make the jobs
available for execution, use the Class Details screen to set the
attribute to INITIATION ON.
RUNNOW The job was the subject of the F5–Run Now function and is in this state
momentarily until execution begins. For more information on the F5–
Run Now function, see Job Info
on page 6-120.
The job remains in the RUNNOW state if either of these conditions exists:
•
The job has the TAPEDRIVES attribute and requires more drives than
are available. For more information on this attribute, see Job Info on
page 6-120.
•
The job’s class has the attribute INITIATION OFF. This attribute
prevents jobs belonging to the class from running. To make the jobs
available for execution, use the Class Details screen to set the
