Mainframe Modernization Jobs

Determines the authorization credentials that are used to connect Control-M to Micro Focus on UNIX/Linux or on Windows.

Rules:

• Characters: 1−30

• Case Sensitive: Yes

• Invalid Characters: Blank spaces.

Defines the JCL job stream filename to execute.

A job stream is a sequence of JCL statements and data the form a single unit of work for an operating system.

Defines the Partitioned Data Set (PDS) and its members for Mainframe Subsystem Support (MSS).

A PDS is a computer file that contains multiple data sets, which are called members. MSS is a program that enables JCL applications to be migrated from a mainframe and maintained, developed, and run on Windows or UNIX/Linux platforms.

Determines whether to enable JCL variables.

This option must be checked if the JCL job stream needs JCL variables, or if it needs additional variables that are defined in the field below.

Defines the environment variables that the Micro Focus Batch Scheduler Integration JCL (MFBSIJCL) needs to submit the JCL job stream.

Determines whether to rerun a JCL job stream from (and to) a specific step that you define in the following attributes.

A JCL job stream contains one or more programs. Each program execution is called a job step, or step.

You can initiate a rerun from the Monitoring domain as long as a job stream has not been hard-killed.

Determines which step the JCL job stream rerun starts from, which enables you to define the range of steps in the JCL job stream that is rerun.

Defines which step the JCL job stream rerun ends on, which enables you to define the range of steps in the JCL job stream that is rerun.

Determines how to handle abnormal end (ABEND) codes, which call attention to a software or hardware error, from a previous JCL job stream run, as follows:

• Ignore: Ignores previous ABEND codes in the JCL job stream rereun.

• Use Previous ABEND Codes: Uses previous ABEND codes in the JCL job stream rereun.

• Do Not Use Previous ABEND Codes: Does not use previous ABEND codes in the JCL job stream rereun.

• Reset to RC=0: Resets the return code (RC) to RC=0, which indicates a successful JCL job stream execution.

Determines how to handle condition (COND) codes from a previous JCL job stream run, as follows.

• Ignore: Ignores previous COND codes in the JCL job stream rereun.

• Use Previous Run COND Codes: Uses previous COND codes in the JCL job stream rereun.

• Do Not Use Previous Run COND Codes: Does not use previous COND codes in the JCL job stream rereun.

• Reset to RC=0: Resets the return code (RC) to RC=0, which indicates a successful JCL job stream execution.

Determines whether to automatically adjust the specified From Step/Proc step if an earlier step is bypassed and must be run to successfully rerun a later step in the JCL job streams, as follows:

• Ignore

• Yes

• No

Defines changes to step condition codes and their values in the JCL job stream rerun.

Determines how to enable the UCC11 environment variable, which affects JCL job stream restart functionality, as follows:

• Ignore

• Yes: Enables the JCL job stream restart functionality, which identifies the data set as NEW, even if it already exists. This prevents the job from failing if it encounters an already cataloged data set, when this would otherwise cause it to fail.

• No: Disables the JCL job stream restart functionality. If a data set already exists, the job fails.

• MOD: Any data set that is identified as new is re-identified as modified, which enables you to append new data to the current data set.

Defines the advanced restart parameters to add to the rerun JCL job stream.

Defines the Job ID for the JCL job stream to rerun.

You can find the Job ID in the Submit Job step where the JCL job stream was first executed in one of the following Micro Focus platforms:

• UNIX/Linux: Micro Focus Visual COBOL

• Windows: Micro Focus Enterprise Developer

Determines whether to rerun the JCL job stream with the modified JCL job stream file, as follows:

• No

• Yes
