§Restart§ Confirm Restart Window (Under Control-M/Restart)

When Control-M/Restart is available, and the job scheduling definition of a job whose execution fails contains a DO IFRERUN statement, the job can be restarted. Manual intervention is required for the job restart if the job appears in the Active Environment screen with a status of WAIT CONFIRMATION (WITH RESTART). For a job requiring restart, this status appears when all the following conditions exist:

• A DO RERUN statement is defined following the DO IFRERUN statement, indicating that the job must be scheduled for restart or rerun.
• The CONFIRM field in the DO IFRERUN statement contains a value of Y (Yes), indicating that confirmation is required before the job is restarted.
• A MAXRERUN value greater than zero is defined in the job scheduling definition, but the number of reruns specified in this field has not yet been performed. In this case, restart can be confirmed by entering option C (Confirm) for the job.

To confirm restart or rerun for such a job, enter option C (Confirm) for the job. A restart confirmation window is then opened. The same confirmation window is opened when requesting the rerun (option R) of a restart job in the Active Environment screen. For the description and an example of the confirmation window, see the following section. §Restart§Rerun and/or Restart Window (Under Control-M/Restart).
