Address Space Resources

The CA Workload Automation SE Virtual Resource Management facility provides the ability to control the execution of a job based on the active or inactive status of an address space. For example, assume that JOBA requires that a CICS region be active for the job to be submitted. During the job submission cycle, CA Workload Automation SE checks to see if the CICS region is active prior to submitting the job. If the region is not active, the job waits in the CA Workload Automation SE ready queue with a status of W-RSRC until the address space becomes active. This check occurs during every CA Workload Automation SE submission cycle. The same process occurs for a job connected to an address space resource that requires that the address space be inactive. The address space resource requirement is only valid on the host CPU where CA Workload Automation SE is executing.
