Global Pend Mach Status

The Global Pend Mach Status parameter defines the completion status that the scheduler assigns to jobs that are scheduled on an offline machine. The jobs temporarily remain in PEND_MACH status before the scheduler assigns the status specified in the Global Pend Mach Status field on the Scheduler - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window.

Valid values are FAILURE, INACTIVE, ONICE, PEND_MACH, SUCCESS, and TERMINATED.

Notes:

The Global Pend Mach Status parameter is applied at the global level and not at the machine level or job level. That is, this parameter value applies to all jobs that are scheduled on an offline machine.
If you set the Global Pend Mach Status field to a valid status (other than PEND_MACH), it results in a CHANGE_STATUS event being sent for the desired completion status. The scheduler records this event in its log as an event that was the result of setting the Global Pend Mach Status field.
If the scheduler changes the status of a job from PEND_MACH to any other valid status because of the Global Pend Mach Status setting or a manual CHANGE_STATUS event, the job is not run when the machine returns to service. Only jobs in PEND_MACH status are eligible to start on the machine that returns to service.
