Actions frequently performed by Control-M/Restart users in the Active Environment screen

Actions frequently performed by Control-M/Restart users in the Active Environment screen are described below:

• Define the Show Screen Filter window so that only WAIT CONFIRMATION jobs are displayed.

  The Show Screen Filter window can filter the display on the Active Environment screen so that, for example, only jobs that are waiting confirmation are displayed.

• Confirm jobs awaiting restart confirmation.

  You can view and confirm jobs that are waiting confirmation using the Active Environment screen. Prior to providing manual confirmation, you can view the job step selected by Control-M/Restart at which the restart is attempted. This selection may be the result of processing a DO IFRERUN $ABEND, $FIRST.ABEND or $EXERR specification. You can also view a list of the job steps in the Restart Step List window and select a different step for restart prior to confirming the job.

• Edit the JCL of the job before it is submitted for restart.

  The JCL can be edited directly using the JCL Edit facility (option J (JCL) of the Active Environment screen).

• View SYSDATA of previous runs of a job.

  The user can check the action taken by the Control-M/Restart facilities by viewing the SYSDATA of the previous runs of the job. The SYSDATA of all previous runs of the same job order is available for online viewing.

• View log of significant events for restarted jobs.

  The IOA Log contains automatically generated messages that record significant events in the life of jobs restarted by Control-M/Restart and other Control-M production jobs. The user can review this information online using Option L (Log) in the Active Environment screen (or using the IOA Log screen).
