Operating Control-M/Restart in standalone mode

For non-Control-M jobs, Control-M/Restart processing information cannot come from a job scheduling definition nor can it be specified it the Control-M Active Environment screen.

In this case, another online interface is provided - the Control-M/Restart Standalone panel. This panel is used to specify processing information to Control-M/Restart for jobs not under Control-M. After Control-M/Restart performs its regular Control-M/Restart processing (Restart or Prevent-NCT2), it passes execution control to the job steps, where the job is executed under MVS (without Control-M processing).

The Control-M/Restart Standalone panel, which is illustrated in Figure 1, can be displayed in the following ways:

• Select Option R4 from the IOA Online Utilities menu. The IOA Online Utilities menu is displayed by requesting Option 6 on the IOA Primary Option menu under ISPF, or by activating CLIST IOAUTIL from the TSO Command Processor.
• Activate CLIST CTRCCTR in the TSO Command Processor.

Either of two types of Control-M/Restart processing can be requested:

• To request a job restart, specify R (Restart) in the ACTION REQUIRED field.
• To request Prevent-NCT2 processing (data set cleanup prior to the original job run), specify P (Prevent NCT2) in the ACTION REQUIRED field.

After specifying the type of request, fill in the rest of the parameters of the panel and press ENTER to process the request.

To exit the Standalone panel, press END (PF03/PF15).
