§Restart§ Using All Runs of a Job Including Restarts

When processing ON blocks, Control-M can incorporate the results of all previous runs and restarts, filtering them for jobs restarted with the parameters RESTART, RECAPTURE CONDITION and/or ABEND CODES. Control-M/Restart searches previous runs to determine which steps must be considered part of the restarted job.

For example, if one step finished successfully during its original run and another step finished successfully after a restart, the ON block check for the successful finish for both steps produces a TRUE result and the ON statement is satisfied.

Activation of this facility requires that the ALLRUNS parameter in the CTRPARM parameter be set to YES. When activated, this facility may apply to any specified step, step range, or to step value +EVERY.
