Resubmit a Job

You can resubmit a job to rerun a failed job or a completed job in an active Application.

To resubmit a job

  1. Right-click the job in the Monitor perspective.

    A list of job commands appears.

  2. Select Resubmit.

    A confirmation dialog opens.

  3. (Optional) Enter the command reason in the Reason field.

    Limit: 1024 characters (including the timestamp and the user name)

    Note: We recommend that the reason text not exceed 250 characters. The number of commands displayed in the command log is limited to the size of the command log buffer, which is 1024 characters. For example, if the reason text averages 10 characters per command, the command log displays up to 50 commands; if the reason text averages 250 characters per command, the command log displays up to 4 commands. You cannot provide the command reason for a Micro Focus job.

  4. Click OK.

    The server resubmits the job. If you made changes to the job's properties in the Monitor perspective, the server resubmits the job using these changes.

    Note: If you dropped the job's variable dependencies at any time before resubmission, the variable dependencies are also dropped from the resubmitted job.

Example: Resubmitting a MicroFocus Job from a Particular Step

You can restart a Micro Focus job from a particular step. This example restarts a Micro Focus job from step name STEP3 of the following JCL:

/INCSTEP  JOB 'INC STEP PROGRAM',CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=A

//STEP1   EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,PARM='ll'
//*SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//INCST2 EXEC PGM=INCORSMP,PARM='000030'
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//STEP3  EXEC PGM=SLEEPSMP,PARM='000030'
//SYSOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//

Note: To restart a Micro Focus job from a particular step, verify that JCL content is selected in the job definition. This command is not supported if you have JCL reference selected.

To resubmit a MicroFocus job from a particular step

  1. Right-click the job in the Monitor perspective.

    A list of job commands appears.

  2. Select Resubmit.
  3. Enter STEP3 in the Restart from step field.

    Note: To resubmit the job from the first step, leave this field blank.

    The server resubmits the job from the specified step. If you made changes to the job's JCL or properties in the Monitor perspective, the server resubmits the job using these changes.
