Shifting DUE OUT Times for Control-M Jobs

If SHOUT WHEN LATE * is specified in a Control‑M job scheduling definition, a message is issued if the job does not finish executing by the specified DUE OUT time. A large number of such messages may be issued if Control‑M is brought up after it, OS/390, or z/OS was down for a significant amount of time.

These messages can be avoided by shifting the DUE OUT time forward an appropriate amount of time (for example, if Control‑M was down for two hours, shift the DUE OUT time 120 minutes forward).

To shift the DUE OUT time forward or backward, issue the command

where

• + and - indicate whether to shift the DUE OUT time forward (later) or backward (earlier), respectively.
• nnn is the number of minutes to shift the DUE OUT time. From 1 to 999 minutes can be specified.

  Note: Jobs with a HELD status are not shifted by the SDOUT operator command.

  The SDOUT operator command only works if the REFRESH DEADLINE IOA online command or the DEADLINE operator command (see Refreshing Deadline Scheduling and Job Network Dependencies) was previously issued.
