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 WA CA 7 Edition. 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 WA CA 7 Edition 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 WA CA 7 Edition jobs or networks have been defined in the database, CA WA CA 7 Edition 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.
