RECENA

Activates or disables the Recovery Mode processing.

Valid values are:

• Y—Activate the Recovery Mode if the Control-M monitor terminates abnormally. Default
• N—Do not activate the Recovery Mode if the Control-M monitor terminates abnormally.

If RECENA=Y(ES), duplicate submissions and DO FORCEJOB processing are prevented, regardless of the RECLEVEL value. The parameter can be changed dynamically by NEWPARM without stopping or starting the Control-M monitor.

For more information on this parameter, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

RECLEVEL

Automation level of recovery processing. The higher the level, the more precise the diagnostics are by the Recovery Mode processing, but the more likely there might be a performance impact on Control-M processing. The lower the level, the more minimal the performance impact on Control-M processing, but the more likely there might be an increase in the number of jobs put into HOLD status requiring customer analysis. The default (RECLEVEL=0) has no performance impact on Control-M processing, but requires the most customer analysis.

Valid values are:

• 0—Lowest automation level of recovery processing. Default
• 1—Intermediate automation level of recovery processing.
• 2—Highest automation level of recovery processing.

The parameter can be changed dynamically by NEWPARM without stopping or starting the Control-M monitor.

The RECLEVEL parameter setting must not be changed between the time that Control-M terminates abnormally and the time that Control-M restarts (and the corresponding Recovery Mode processing begins). Changing the setting during this period might interfere with the Recovery Mode processing, resulting in the failure to prevent duplicate submissions or DO FORCEJOB processing. For more information on this parameter, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.
