CPM Processing

CA Workload Automation SE critical paths were restricted in the past to trigger-only paths.

If you are not using Jobflow Monitor, CPM is not changing.

Jobflow Monitor can include job and data set dependencies that affect the critical path. Using Jobflow Monitor, CA Workload Automation SE critical paths can now include multiple possible paths.

To exploit this feature in CPM, you must have Jobflow Monitor active and specify JFM=YES and CPM=JFM on the CA Workload Automation SE OPTIONS statement. In this mode, CA Workload Automation SE sends job start and end events to Jobflow Monitor.

Also with CPM=JFM, CA Workload Automation SE no longer issues the CPM start and stop events for jobs in the FLOW. Jobflow Monitor then sends the job start and stop events to CPM for all jobs related to the defined flow. CPM queries Jobflow Monitor for status information about the flow.

During installation, a test flow is provided to verify the CPM=JFM interface is correctly configured and functioning. Another new test flow can also verify the CPM=YES interface.

Note: For more information, see the CA Workload Automation SE Systems Programming Guide.
