Job Restart

Under CA Workload Automation SE, jobs that abnormally terminate are automatically suspended and notification is made to a designated workstation advising of a need to perform a job restart. Through online commands, all jobs waiting for restart can be listed with job restart information. Job restart information identifies the last step successfully executed, the abend code, the restartable steps and, optionally, specific user-defined special instructions. Abended jobs can be restarted online after restart cleanup is completed.

Internal cross-platform jobs, known as XPJOBs or agent jobs, contain only one step: the information sent to the destination. These job types are restartable only from the beginning and cannot use CA WA Restart Option facilities if available.

If CA WA Restart Option is available, both restart cleanup and job restart can be accomplished online on a single screen. CA Workload Automation SE can tell CA WA Restart Option which step to restart, based on condition codes interpreted by CA Workload Automation SE.
