1.2 How Unicenter CA-Scheduler Works Unicenter CA-Scheduler automatically submits jobs to the operating system when they are ready to run. Unicenter CA-Scheduler decides that a job is ready to be submitted to the operating system when ■ ■ ■ ■ Its early start time has been reached All predecessor conditions have been satisfied The job has ended at all pre-CPU workstations The job's defined resources are available Jobs without early start times, without pre-CPU workstations, without predecessors, and without defined resources are submitted when the database is scanned. Unicenter CA-Scheduler locates the library in which the appropriate JCL resides, retrieves it and submits it to the operating system. Customarily, sites store the JCL for each job in a production JCL library. Unicenter CA-Scheduler supports a wide variety of JCL library types: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ CONDOR Unicenter CA-Driver procedure library AllFusion CA-Librarian Allfusion CA-Vollie VM/CMS files AllFusion CA-Panvalet User defined library VSE PROC library ICCF member SLI member Different jobs can have their JCL stored in different types of libraries. An optional feature of Unicenter CA-Scheduler triggers the display of free-form documentation on the operator's console at specified times. Your site might implement this feature to display: ■ ■ Job instructions when jobs become available to start, or Restart instructions when a job abends Customarily, sites store the JCL for each job in a production library. When selecting the day's workload, Unicenter CA-Scheduler copies the JCL for jobs requiring setup to the staging library. Typically, setup means adding something like a date card to the JCL. For easier online staging, Unicenter CA-Scheduler can highlight JCL statements that require changes and can protect those that do not. The changes you make affect the staged JCL without changing your production libraries. Using Unicenter CA-Scheduler, the setup staff can ■ ■ ■ ■ Display the jobs selected for staging Display the staged JCL for each job Make the changes online Expand Unicenter CA-Driver procedures that are embedded in the JCL 1-8 Unicenter CA-Scheduler User Guide
1.2 How Unicenter CA-Scheduler Works ■ ■ Display the current values of Unicenter CA-Driver reserved variable parameters Change the values of any Unicenter CA-Driver reserved variable parameters before each job's staging at workstation 39 is posted as complete. Unicenter CA-Scheduler assists in managing production job rerun/restart in many different ways: ■ ■ ■ ■ A backout job can be automatically submitted to undo the effect of an abended job. A schedule can be automatically added to the workload when a job abends. The schedule can include any number of jobs to recover from or restart the abended job. The Unicenter CA-Scheduler utility program can be embedded in the production JCL after strategic job steps, and can trigger different recovery schedules depending on the abended step. Unicenter CA-Driver procedures can be developed to automatically generate different job streams depending on the abending step when a job is submitted for a rerun. False job completion frequently occurs. It is a case in which a job appears to have run successfully (that is, no abend conditions or fail code returned from the job), but in reality the job did NOT run successfully. The evidence is on the job output (job log), or in the contents of the report produced by the job, or in a message issued to the operator console by the job. False job completion could be very costly when passed undetected since Unicenter CA-Scheduler could submit numerous successors to a job that appeared to have run successfully. Through the Auto-Reply processing facility false job completion can be automatically detected and prevented. This is done by checking console output for a job before Unicenter CA-Scheduler posts the job as complete. Users can communicate with Unicenter CA-Scheduler in online or batch mode. All of the Unicenter CA-Scheduler monitoring functions are available from the operator console as well. Online access is supported for CICS, CMS and ICCF. Unicenter CA-Scheduler users can be assigned three levels of authority to control what they can and cannot do. Controlling schedules can be limited to authorized users. Users can also be limited to controlling jobs at certain stations. Security exits are also available for enhanced protection. Unicenter CA-Scheduler automatically updates the status of all CPU jobs in the tracking file. Unicenter CA-Scheduler assigns status conditions to jobs to indicate the state of their progress within production. Only authorized users can issue the commands that alter the status of tasks performed at other stations. Chapter 1. Introduction 1-9
