Ordering Missions

The Mission Definition screens are used to define migration, printing, backup and restore mission criteria. A definition becomes "active" only after it is ordered. The report decollating mission can be ordered manually, or it can be ordered automatically each day. For further information see the Control-D and Control-V chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide. One way to manually order one or more missions is by using options O and F of the Mission List or Category List screens.

The options can be activated from:

These options are specified as follows:

Table 54 Options for Ordering Missions

Option

Description

O (ORDER)

Schedule the mission definitions of the mission only if the specified date is defined as a scheduling date in the mission definition’s basic scheduling criteria.

F (FORCE)

Schedule the mission definitions of the mission regardless of basic scheduling criteria.

When you use the O or F option, a default confirmation window is opened. (If the default has been modified in the User profile, a different confirmation window, requiring double confirmation, is opened.)

The specified date can be changed. If you decide not to order the mission or mission definition, enter N in the CONFIRM field (for CANCEL).

The ASK FOR EACH ONE line is only displayed if more than one Order (or Force) is requested. If you are certain that you want to order or force all indicated missions or mission definitions, and do not want to change the ODATE for any of the individual missions or mission definitions, you can bypass individual confirmations by entering Y in the CONFIRM field and N in the ASK FOR EACH ONE field, and pressing Enter. All the missions or mission definitions marked O (or F) are ordered.

For each mission or mission definition that is successfully scheduled (ordered), the following messages are displayed:
