Restart after a system crash

Control-M/Restart handling of restart following a system crash depends on the value specified in the SEARCH parameter in the CTRPARM member in the IOA PARM library.

The SEARCH parameter controls the searching for uncataloged data sets on all mounted disks if Control-M/Restart recognizes that the original job run failed due to a system crash. This search is part of data set cleanup. Valid values are described in Table 33.

Table 33 SEARCH Parameter Values

Value

Description

YES

Control-M/Restart starts searching for uncataloged data sets on all mounted disks.

NO

Suppresses this processing; Control-M/Restart does not start searching.

CONFIRM

Control-M/Restart issues the CTR303I and CTR304I messages and then waits for an operator's confirmation before starting to search the data sets.

As noted above, if the SEARCH parameter has a value of CONFIRM, the operator is prompted (Yes/No) for instructions following a system crash. The operator can either confirm the search (YES) or cancel the search (NO).
