Table 84 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. Valid values are:

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

Note: CONTROL and RESOURCE are available only at sites where Control-M is active.

CONDITION/
RESOURCE

Name of the condition or resource

DATE

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

When Control-M is active at your site, information is displayed in the following fields:

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 indicator, 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 (on color terminals). If the maximum quantity is more than 1 but none is available, 0000 is displayed in red (on 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.

Note: To determine which job is using a particular resource, specify the RBA of the resource when specifying the RBAL command in the Active Environment screen. For more information, see the RBAL command in the online facilities chapter of the Control-M for OS-390 and z/OS User Guide.

IOAID

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