Navigating the Active Environment
This chapter includes the following topics:
Overview
You are now going to look at and use some additional options, screens and capabilities of the Active Environment.
In this chapter, you will
-
look more closely at the fields in the Show Screen Filter window, define a new filter, and display a list of available filters
-
change between display types of the Active Environment screen
-
add a note to a job in the Zoom screen and display the content of the note in the Active Environment screen
-
display the scheduling library and table names of jobs in the Active Environment screen
-
display the list of dependent jobs, both predecessors and successors, in the Job Dependency Network screen
-
display the execution history of job orders in the Job Order Execution History screen, and display job Sysout information in the Sysout Viewing screen
-
force a status of OK for a job in the Active Environment screen
-
display statistics for a job in the Statistics screen
-
display the Table to which a job belongs in the Active Environment screen
Preparations
In this chapter, you will be using the following, and their respective JCLs:
-
IDJOB1 from table IDGS1
-
Each job, from IDJOB2 through IDJOB5, and the table IDGS2 SMART Table Entity
-
IDJOB6 from table IDGS3
In preparation, you will
-
ensure that job IDJOB1 in table IDGS1 does not require manual confirmation
-
ensure a continuous job dependency from IDJOB1 through IDJOB6, by
-
making the following changes in the appropriate job scheduling definitions in table IDGS2
-
adding, in the job scheduling definition of IDJOB3, OUT condition IDJOB3-ENDED-OK ODAT +.
-
adding, in the job scheduling definition of IDJOB4, IN condition IDJOB3-ENDED-OK ODAT
-
-
making the following changes in the appropriate job scheduling definitions in table IDGS3
-
adding, in the job scheduling definition of IDJOB6, IN condition IDJOB5-ENDED-OK ODAT
-
adding, in the job scheduling definition of IDJOB6, OUT condition IDJOB6-ENDED-OK ODAT +
-
-
-
ensure the following situations in the appropriate JCL files:
-
in the JCL of job IDJOB3, the step returns a condition code of C0008
-
in the JCL of job IDJOB5, all steps return a condition code of C0000
-
-
ensure that batch utility CTMJSA has been run in the current working day
If CTMJSA is not run as part of New Day processing, run it yourself or request that it be run by your administrator
A Closer Look At Filters
In anticipation of taking a closer look at filters, you can run the jobs you prepared, and then look at the results in the Active Environment screen.
-
Order the following jobs, in the following order:
-
Job IDJOB1 in table IDGS1
-
SMART Table Entity GRPSCHD in table IDGS2
-
Job IDJOB6 in table IDGS3
-
-
Enter the Active Environment screen and activate the filter IDGS. The following screen is displayed:

Commands: OPt DIsplay Show HIstory RBal REFresh Auto Jobstat SHPF Note Table
OPt command toggles between Commands and Options display 14.13.03These results are not surprising. Job IDJOB3 did not end OK due to condition code C0008. And because of the defined job dependencies, the remaining jobs have a status of Wait Schedule.
You can now take a closer look at filters in the Active Environment screen. In Introduction to Control-M, you created filter IDGS, and in subsequent chapters, you activated this filter by entering the SHOW IDGS command.
To display the filter criteria of this same filter for editing, you should add the keyword EDIT at the end of the command. You can now edit filter IDGS.
-
Enter the command SHOW IDGS EDIT. The Show Screen Filter window displays the filtering criteria for filter IDGS.

OPt command toggles between Commands and Options display 11.07.49You have already seen that you choose whether to save a new filter by specifying Y, or N, in the Save field, and pressing Enter. You can use this same field to choose whether to save changes to an existing filter.
Specifying N (No) does not cancel changes made to a filter. It only means that they will not be permanently saved. They will, however, remain in memory. This applies even if you are editing a new filter, that is, specifying N and exiting the filter leaves the new filter in memory. To cancel changes to a filter, close the window by pressing PF04/PF16 to enter the RESET command. The changes are canceled regardless of the value specified in the Save field.
The purpose in filtering the display was to ensure that the screen only displays those jobs that you used in your exercises. You took two steps to accomplish this purpose
-
You ensured that all jobs in the exercises belonged to a Group prefixed by IDGRP.
-
You then filtered the display based on this Group name prefix of IDGRP.
You could have accomplished the purpose using the following filter criteria:
-
Because you prefixed each member name with IDGS, you could have filtered using that Memname prefix.
-
If you ran no other jobs, you could have filtered on Owner ID.
Clearly, filtering on Odate would not have accomplished your purpose. However, Odate is useful for filtering when you only want to see jobs scheduled for a specific Odate.
The middle portion of the window is divided into three columns. These columns are all status related. For example, you can include (or exclude) jobs that have a Wait Schedule, Wait Confirmation, and/or Ended "OK" status. To learn the details of the relationship between these status columns, and their header topics, In Process, Ended, State, refer to the description in the Control-M for z/OS User Guide.
If you filter on such values as a common member name or group prefix, you are likely to display related or connected jobs. By contrast, if you filter only on a status such as Wait Schedule, you are likely to see completely unrelated jobs in the display. This, however, is still very valuable. An operator, for example, may need to check which jobs still have a Wait Schedule or a Wait Confirmation status.
Multiple filtering criteria can be specified. All specified criteria must be satisfied. You can, for example, specify a filter on your Owner name and on a Wait Schedule status. This way, you can see only your jobs that are Waiting Scheduling.
The filter window for filter IDGRP is currently displayed. You can, of course, close it without making changes. And, as mentioned above, you can make changes and either save them or keep them in memory.
But you can also use this filter as the basis for another filter by making the desired changes and specifying a new name in the Filter field.
You can define a new filter that shows only jobs with a group name prefix of IDGRP that have a Wait Schedule status. Name this filter IDWS, as described in the following steps.
-
-
-
In the Filter field, change the name from IDGS to IDWS.
-
Specify Y in the Save column.
-
Change the description to read: GS-WAITSCHED.
-
Leave the Group name value, IDGRP, unchanged.
-
In the status sections leave the In Process value (Y) and the Wait Sched value (Y) unchanged. The Active Environment window will not show the jobs that are in Wait Schedule status if the jobs are waiting for a condition. So we must leave the Wait Cond unchanged as (Y). Similarly, if the jobs are waiting for anything else, we must leave the appropriate values (Y). Therefore the Wait time, Wait quant, and Wait contrl values must remain (Y). Also, leave all values in theState column unchanged.
-
In the status sections, make the following changes:
-
In the In Process column, change all values (except those of In Process, Wait Sched, Wait time, Wait Cond, Wait quant, and Wait contrl) to N.
-
Change the Ended column header value to N.
The window is displayed as follows. This illustration shows the changes from the previous filter indicated in bold.

Control-M is supplied with several predefined filters, including a filter called DEFAULT. In addition to any filters you define, the INCONTROL administrator can predefine filters and place them in the General profile.
Site-defined defaults determine whether the last filter used, or the DEFAULT filter, will be activated upon reentry to the Active Environment screen.
If you are unsure of a filter name, you can display the list of available filters in the Display Filters window. The display includes all globally available filters as well as filters that you have defined.
You can then select a filter from the Display Filters window for activation or editing.

OPt command toggles between Commands and Options display 14.35.40Notice that this display type includes many fields not displayed in the Default display type. Because of the larger number of lines displayed for each job, each screen display shows far fewer jobs than the default display type.
-
Enter DI D in the COMMAND field. The Default display type is redisplayed.
You have not displayed the Net display type, DI N. This display type is generally useful only in the Job Dependency Network screen, which is discussed, below, under the topic "Displaying Job Dependencies."
Next, you will see how to add a note to one of your jobs.
Adding a Note to a Job
The NOTE command that appears in the list of commands at the bottom of the Active Environment screen is NOT used to add notes. Rather, it is used to display notes that have already been added to a job order.
Notes are added to job orders in the Zoom screen. Remember that before making any changes in the Zoom screen, you must first place the job in Held status.
-
Place job IDJOB6 in Held status and display the Zoom screen for the job by entering Option H, and pressing Enter until the job has a status of Held Wait Schedule. Then enter option Z).
-
Enter command NOTE in the COMMAND field of the Zoom screen. A Note line is opened inside the Zoom screen between two lines of equal signs, as follows:
When you enter text in one line, a new blank line is opened to enable you to enter more text.

Displaying Job Dependencies
You have not displayed the Net display type using the DI N command. This display type is generally useful only in the Job Dependency Network screen, which you will soon display. Beforehand, however, it is advisable to refresh the Active Environment display using the REFRESH command, which appears in the list of commands at the bottom of the screen.
-
Enter REFRESH in the COMMAND field. A message indicates that the display has been refreshed.
Toggle to the list of options at the bottom of the Active Environment screen, so you can see exactly which option you will use to display the Job Dependency Network screen.
-
Enter OPT in the COMMAND field. The list of available options is displayed.
One of these options is N (Net). It displays the list of dependencies for a job; that is, the list of predecessor and successor job of the selected job. Specify this option for job IDJOB5.
-
Enter N in the OPTION field next to IDJOB5. The Job Dependency Network screen is displayed (with display type N).

Note the following about the jobs listed in the screen:
-
An arrow appears beside the job for which the N option was requested. This job is the starting point for looking at predecessor and successor jobs.
-
Immediately below IDJOB5 is its the only successor job, IDJOB6, with a level number of +1. The plus sign indicates that IDJOB6 is a successor job; the integer 1 indicates that IDJOB6 is only one level removed from IDJOB5, that is, it is an immediate successor.
-
Above IDJOB5 is the list of predecessor jobs, each displaying a negative level number. The minus signs in the level numbers indicate that these are predecessor jobs of IDJOB5. The integer in the level number indicates the number of levels the job is removed from IDJOB5. For example, IDJOB4, level -1, is the immediate predecessor; IDJOB2, level -3, is three levels away from IDJOB5.
-
Jobs appear in the screen in job flow order, from earliest predecessor to latest successor.
Job dependencies are determined according the prerequisite IN and OUT conditions of the job. DO COND conditions are ignored because they are conditional rather than constant.
The screen also displays the following information about the jobs, much of it also found in the Zoom screen:
Table 18 Job Dependency Fields
Field
Description
DueIN
Due in time. Time by which the job must be submitted.
DueOut
Due out time. Time by which the job must finish executing.
Elaps
Elapse time. Expected time (in minutes) for the job to execute.
Late
Indication that a job is late. Possible values:
-
X – Actual execution has not completed within the expected execution time. Also indicates that SHOUT WHEN EXECTIME was issued.
-
I – Job was not submitted in time. Also indicates that SHOUT WHEN LATESUB was issued.
-
O – Job is late. Also indicates that SHOUT WHEN LATE was issued.
Prio
Control-M priority of the job.
Res
Indicator that the job accesses Quantitative resources. Valid values are:
-
blank – Quantitative resources are not accessed.
-
Y – Quantitative resources are accessed.
Status
Job (task) status.
To refresh the display with the latest information, enter the REFRESH command as you did before displaying the screen. The time of the last refresh is displayed on the top line of the Job Dependency Network screen.
You can change display types in the Job Dependency Network screen, but there is little point in doing so because it is this display type that shows the dependency levels.

Displaying Execution Information from Job Run
Job Order Execution History Screen
You can now display the execution history for job IDJOB1. As you saw in Chapter 1, "Introduction to Control-M," you can do this by specifying Option V (View Sysout) for the job.
-
Enter option V for job IDJOB1. The Job Order Execution History screen for IDJOB1 is displayed.
This facility requires that Control-M/Restart be operational at your site. If Control-M/Restart is not installed, skip to "Forcing an OK Status for a Job" below.

Forcing an OK Status for a Job
In some of the exercises in previous chapters, you set up errors in the JCL to achieve certain results, and then edited the JCL to correct those mistakes before rerunning or restarting the job.
There may be situations, however, in which you determine that even though a particular job step had an error, the job should still end OK, that is, where the error is not serious enough to require an Ended Not OK status for the job.
In such a situation, you can use the O (Force OK) option in the Active Environment screen to change a job status to Ended OK. as explained below.
-
Enter Option O for IDJOB3.

Free IDJOB3. The status of IDJOB3 changes to Ended "OK" Forced OK.
This, in turn, results in the IDJOB3-ENDED-OK condition to be added to the IOA Conditions file, which in turn allows the remaining jobs (IDJOB4, IDJOB5, and IDJOB6), and the SMART Table Entity to successively end OK.
In the following screen illustration, the status of IDJOB3 has already changed, and IDJOB4 has been changed to Wait Submission.

Displaying Statistics for a Job
If your site uses utility CTMJSA to collect job statistics, you can display job runtime statistics for a job by entering the S (Statistics) line option.
-
Enter option S for IDJOB1. The Statistics screen is displayed.

PRESS END PFK TO RETURN TO ACTIVE SCREEN 22.39.56For each computer with statistics on the job, an Average Statistics line is displayed followed by individual job or SMART Table Entity statistics for each execution:
-
The Average Statistics Line contains the SYSID and SMF ID of the computer for which statistics are calculated, as well as the average ELAPSED, CPU and SRB time for the job on that computer.
-
The Individual Execution and/or SMART Table Entity Statistics Line contains the JOBID, Start time, End time, Elapsed time, CPU time, and SRB time for the execution or SMART Table Entity.
-
-
Exit the Statistics screen to the Active Environment screen.
Displaying Jobs Belonging to a Specific SMART Table
You have already seen that you can filter the Active Environment display on Table name.
But through specification of the T (Table) line option, you can restrict the display to those jobs belonging to the same table, independent of filters. This option applies only to a SMART Table Entity and jobs in a SMART Table.
-
Enter SHOW nonsense EDIT. The filter window is displayed with the default edits set, and the nonsense name in the Filter field.
-
Blank out the Filter name and press Enter. The Active Environment screen is displayed with the default filter edits, that is, the equivalent of no filter.
-
Scroll to the top of the screen. The full Active Environment is displayed.
-
Find the listing of one of the jobs in the SMART Table (IDJOB2 through IDJOB5), and enter Option T for the job. The Table screen is displayed.
