MIM1049A

Requeued jobs found - Reply 'RELEASE', 'USE', or 'DISCARD'

Reason:

ECMF is asking how to handle requeued batch jobs and checkpoint information. ECMF issues this prompt:

• At shutdown, if it has held jobs due to resource contention
• At startup, if the ECMF options specified REQCHKPT=ASK

When ECMF issues the prompt at shutdown, it allows a limited amount of time for the response. If there is no response in this time, it acts as if the response had been USE. This avoids excessive delay of a GDIF shutdown when the prompt is given.

Action:

Respond by entering one of these values:

RELEASE

Tells ECMF to release requeued jobs. ECMF also retains checkpoint information about the released jobs until it determines that the jobs were either completed or purged. If REQCHKPT=ASK is used, then ECFM may ask (at startup) about jobs that were released during the previous shutdown.

USE

Tells ECMF to reinstate checkpointed jobs and begin the process of re-evaluating resource conflicts for these jobs.

DISCARD

Tells ECMF to leave requeued jobs in a held state and discard checkpoint information. You need to release these jobs manually.
