POST Usage Notes

The Batch Card Load Program (BCLP) or U7SVC can be used to automatically handle posting of external card-image input data sets.

Internal requirements are generally satisfied automatically by CA Workload Automation SE. However, it is necessary to POST an internal requirement manually if any of the following situations exist:

• A data set was not created for the currently scheduled run.
• A data set was not to be used in the currently scheduled run due to an override.
• A job using a data set is being run multiple times using the same version of the data set for input to each run.
• A job is being rerun using the same versions of input as in the original run.
• A job defined as a requirement was not run, or ran unsuccessfully, and a successor job is to be run.
• An input network defined as a job requirement is not complete, but the job is to run.

If the completion of a requirement is not noted in the CA Workload Automation SE database, requirements must be satisfied by a manual POST after the using job is scheduled into the request queue. When dependencies and requirements for resources and other CA Workload Automation SE jobs or networks have been defined in the database, CA Workload Automation SE handles satisfaction automatically upon the completion of the requirement.

Manual posting of any requirement is not possible until the using job is in the request queue.
