SEARCH

Controls the searching for uncataloged data sets on all mounted disks that Control‑M/Restart may perform in case of a restart of a job whose original run failed due to a system crash.

  • YES – Control‑M/Restart starts searching for uncataloged data sets, on all mounted disks, if it recognizes that the original run of job failed due to a system crash. Default.
  • NO – Suppresses this processing; Control‑M/Restart does not start searching.
  • CONFIRM – Control‑M/Restart issues messages CTR303I and CTR304I and then waits for confirmation from an operator before starting to search the data sets.

 

SYSDB

Specifies which type of archive (CDAM) data sets will be used by Control‑M and Control‑M/Restart for saving job outputs.

The SYSDB parameter in the CTRPARM member specifies the default archiving type. It may be overridden by the SYSDB parameter in the scheduling definition of any specific job.

  • YES – Multi-job CDAM files are used for archiving the sysouts of jobs, meaning that each archive CDAM data set may contain the output of several jobs. Default.
  • NO – Each archive CDAM file may contain the sysout of only one job.

TAPEMS

  • Mandatory
