Forcing an OK Status for a Job

In some of the exercises in previous chapters, you set up errors in the JCL to achieve certain results, and then edited the JCL to correct those mistakes before rerunning or restarting the job.

There may be situations, however, in which you determine that even though a particular job step had an error, the job should still end OK, that is, where the error is not serious enough to require an Ended Not OK status for the job.

In such a situation, you can use the O (Force OK) option in the Active Environment screen to change a job status to Ended OK. as explained below.

  1. Enter Option O for IDJOB3.

    Filter: M21GS     ------- Control-M  Active  Environment ------ UP    <D> - (3)

    COMMAND ===>                                                    SCROLL ==> CRSR

    O Name     Owner    Odate  Jobname  JobID   Typ ----------- Status ------------

      IDJOB1   ID       020201 M21     /26288   JOB Ended "OK"                   

      GRPSCHD  ID       020201                  TBL Active - In Error            

      IDJOB2   ID       020201 M21     /26467   JOB Ended "OK"                   

    O IDJOB3   ID       020201 M21     /26468   JOB Ended- Not "OK" Due to CC   

      IDJOB4   ID       020201                  JOB Wait Schedule                

      IDJOB5   ID       020201                  JOB Wait Schedule                

      IDJOB6   ID       020201                  JOB Wait Schedule                

                                                  *** Note ***

  2. Free IDJOB3. The status of IDJOB3 changes to Ended "OK" Forced OK.

    This, in turn, results in the IDJOB3-ENDED-OK condition to be added to the IOA Conditions file, which in turn allows the remaining jobs (IDJOB4, IDJOB5, and IDJOB6), and the SMART Table Entity to successively end OK.

    In the following screen illustration, the status of IDJOB3 has already changed, and IDJOB4 has been changed to Wait Submission.

    Filter: IDGS      ------- Control-M  Active  Environment ------ UP    <D> - (3)

    COMMAND ===>                                                    SCROLL ==> CRSR

    O Name     Owner    Odate  Jobname  JobID   Typ ----------- Status ------------

      IDJOB1   ID       210101 M21     /26288   JOB Ended "OK"                   

      GRPSCHD  ID       210101                  TBL Active                       

      IDJOB2   ID       210101 M21     /26467   JOB Ended "OK"                   

      IDJOB3   ID       210101 M21     /26468   JOB Ended "OK" Forced OK         

      IDJOB4   ID       210101                  JOB Wait Submission              

      IDJOB5   ID       210101                  JOB Wait Schedule                

      IDJOB6   ID       210101                  JOB Wait Schedule                

                                                  *** Note ***

    At the end of the process, the screen is displayed as follows:

    Filter: IDGS      ------- Control-M  Active  Environment ------ UP    <D> - (3)

    COMMAND ===>                                                    SCROLL ==> CRSR
