Table 104 Fields of the IOA Conditions/Resources Screen

Field

Description

OPT

Option to be activated on the condition or resource.

TYPE

Type of condition or resource:

  • COND – Prerequisite condition
  • CONTROL – Control resource
  • RESOURCE – Quantitative resource

CONDITION/
RESOURCE

Name of the condition or resource.

IOAID

ID of the IOA installation that is using the particular Control or Quantitative resource. This value is significant when multiple IOA installations share the same resources.

USE

Resource usage indicator for Control or Quantitative resources. Valid values depend on the type of resource.

For Control resources, valid values are:

  • E – Resource is being used in Exclusive mode
  • S – Resource is being used in Shared mode

For Quantitative resources, valid values are:

  • B – Line indicates the initial definition for the resource
  • U – Line indicates an instance of resource usage
  • R – Line indicates an unfulfilled critical path request (that is, a request with an *-type priority) for the resource

QUANTITY

Quantity of a Quantitative resource. What the quantity represents depends on the value in the USE field, as follows:

Use

Quantity

B

Quantity available. If the maximum quantity is more than 1 but only 1 is available, 0001 is displayed in pink for color terminals. If the maximum quantity is more than 1 but none is available, 0000 is displayed in red for color terminals.

U

Quantity in use by the particular process.

R

Quantity requested by the particular
process, but unfulfilled.

MAX

Maximum available quantity of a Quantitative resource.

*P

Priority of the job requesting a Control-M resource using *-type priority. For more information, see PRIORITY: Runtime Scheduling Parameter.

RBA

Internal Control-M ID (relative byte address) of the job currently holding a Control-M resource. An RBA value of 000000 indicates that the resource was added manually.

Notes:

  • Line indicates an unfulfilled critical path request (that is, a request with an *-type priority) for the resource.
  • It is permissible to add a duplicate Control resource, either online in screen 4 or by using batch utility IOACND, to enable manual intervention in the job flow processing.

DATE

Original date reference of a prerequisite condition (format mmdd or ddmm depending on the site standard, or the value STAT).

The conditions are displayed in day (dd) order (regardless of the site's date format), followed by STAT conditions.
