RESCHNG Command

The RESCHNG command in a CA Workload Automation SE trailer step frees tape drives that are no longer needed. When workload balancing is scheduling jobs, the high-water mark for tape drives is reserved until job completion, unless this command is used. Using this command, the trailer step can be inserted in the job anytime after the maximum number of tape drives is no longer needed.

Note: Because cross-platform jobs do not use any tapes drives or data sets, this command has no effect for cross-platform jobs.

This command has the following format:

►►─ RESCHNG ─┬────────────────┬─┬────────────┬─┬────────────┬─────────────────►◄
             └─ ,JOB=jobname ─┘ └─ ,TP1=nnn ─┘ └─ ,TP2=nnn ─┘
