JOBSTART Command for Select SAP Job Types

With the SAP job types BDC_JOB and SAP_JOB, a STARTMODE parameter indicates when to release the job (start execution) in the SAP system. The values can be one of the following:

N

Do not release the job for execution.

I

Release the job immediately.

A

Release the job as soon as possible.

The job in CA Workload Automation CA 7 Edition appears in the active queue once the agent has passed it to the SAP system. The N value is like a “hold” action on the job, and the job cannot start execution until it is released. The JOBSTART command, with the following format, releases the job from the “hold” status:

JOBSTART,JOB=nnnn,MODE={I|A}

You can specify either I for immediate release or A for as soon as possible release. After the job is released, it executes, and job feedback is returned to CA Workload Automation CA 7 Edition.
