The Tracking and Control facility provides relevant information about the status of each job and task in the Active environment and enables you to manually intervene in the processing of jobs.
The Active environment contains all the jobs in the Active Jobs file, that is, all jobs that have recently executed, are currently executing, or are scheduled for possible execution in the near future.
The main screen of the Tracking and Control facility is the Active Environment screen, which displays a list of all jobs and their statuses in the Active environment.
The Active Environment screen is accessed by requesting option 3 on the IOA Primary Option menu.
From the Active Environment screen you can request specific actions in relation to a job, or request the display of other screens that provide additional information and capabilities. Possible requests include
