Unicenter CA-Scheduler Job Management for VSE User Guide

7.3 Issuing Online Commands in Batch
The preceding commands can be executed conditionally based upon the setting
of a global parameter or the status of a schedule or job. This introduces the SC
transaction that is used with the IF statement. The IF statement can even have
AND, OR, and NOT keywords. For example:
Transaction:
SC IF JOBA INTRPTD SC STATUS S=PAYSCHD
Read as:
The job that is executing CAJUCMD0 right now wants to determine if the job
JOBA is in an interrupted status. If it is, Unicenter CA-Scheduler will print the
status of the schedule PAYSCHD and all its jobs.
The following describes using the NOT keyword.
Transaction:
SC IF JOBA NOT COMPLETE SC HOLD J N=JOBB
Read as:
7.3.2 Status Checking
The job that is executing CAJUCMD0 right now wants to determine whether
or not JOBA completed. If it has not, Unicenter CA-Scheduler will place JOBB
in HELD status.
In the previous examples, the portion of the IF statement that reads JOBA
INTRPTD and JOBA NOT COMPLETE is called a condition. There can be
more than one condition in an IF statement. In this case, they would be
separated by an AND or an OR keyword. If the condition pertains to a
schedule or job, the right-hand part of the condition is the status to check
against. If you are looking at a global, the right-hand part is the value of the
global you want to check.
There are two levels of status codes. The major level is a code such as
INTRPTD or COMPLETE (as in the previous examples). This is termed the
major status code. There are some major status codes that can be optionally
qualified with a minor status code. An example of a major status code with a
minor status code would be WAIT PRED. WAIT is the major status code and
PRED is the minor status code. One example is asking if a schedule or job is in
a WAIT status for predecessors. Another example is WAIT START, which is
asking if a schedule or job is waiting for its early start time to be met.
