4.4 Handling Predecessor Conditions
4.4.1 Posting Predecessors
This topic tells you how to post and unpost predecessors.
The MASTER userid or a userid with Manager authority can post a
predecessor condition as satisfied so that a waiting schedule or job can be
processed. Notice that posting a predecessor satisfies all successors that are
waiting for it. If you only want to release one successor, use ONLYJOB,
ONLYST, ONLYJNO or ONLYSCD keywords.
To post a predecessor condition, go to the Online Monitoring panel and enter
one of the following:
Enter
4,DSN N=dsname
4,SSCD N=sname
4,SJOB N=jname
4,SCD N=sname
4,JOB N=jname
4,VSE N=jname
If The Predecessor You Are Satisfying Is The
Close of a data set
Start of a
-schedule
-job
End of a
-schedule
-job
-nonscheduled DOS job
4.4.2 Unposting Predecessors
Type the name of a data set, schedule or job following the predecessor
keywords listed in the chart preceding. If the predecessor is a job, also give the
schedule name, job number, and station number. If you cannot fit all of the
information on the panel, end with a comma. This will give you a continuation
panel. Once you have satisfied a predecessor condition by posting it
manually, Unicenter CA-Scheduler reacts as if the event actually occurred.
This affects Unicenter CA-Scheduler totally, so the impact is not limited to just
today's workload or just this CPU. See the description of the POST command
in the Unicenter CA-Scheduler Reference Guide Part 1.
The MASTER userid or a userid with Manager authority can unpost a
predecessor condition so that a waiting schedule or job cannot be processed.
Notice that unposting a predecessor inhibits all successors that are waiting for
it. If you only want to inhibit one successor, use the ONLYJOB, ONLYST,
ONLYJNO, or ONLYSCD keywords.
