Type Processing of Batch Jobs

The CA Endevor SCM administrator can establish a processing sequence for CA Endevor SCM Types that must be processed in a specific order. For example, COBOL copybooks must be processed before COBOL programs. This Type processing sequence can be set either at the system level (the default) or at a global level, which is referred to as Global Type Sequencing. Other Types, such as JCL, can be processed in any order. You do not need to define such Types in the Type processing sequence.

When a batch request includes multiple element Types, CA Endevor SCM first builds two request chains. One chain is composed of sequenced Types in Type sequence order, and one chain is composed of nonsequenced Types in alphabetical order. CA Endevor SCM then processes the sequenced Type chain first, as follows.

• When default processing (without Global Type Sequencing) is used, Types are processed by Type order defined for each target System.
• When Global Type Sequencing is used, Types are processed according to the processing order defined at the site level.

Global Type Processing is a prerequisite for the Concurrent Action Processing option. This option enables certain Types to process at the same time.
