Status

Description

WAIT SCHEDULE

The mission (migration, printing, backup, restore) is waiting to be scheduled.

WAIT PROCESS

The report decollating mission is waiting to be scheduled.

DECOLLATING

The report decollating mission is currently decollating a report.

ENDED OK

Mission finished executing OK.

ENDED OK – NO REPORTS

There are no reports waiting to be decollated by this mission. The report decollating mission finished executing OK.

ENDED OK – WITH WARNINGS

The mission finished executing OK but encountered some problems. Use option L to determine the reasons.

DECOLLATED OK

The report decollating mission finished decollating OK.

ENDED NOT OK

Mission ended NOTOK. Use option L to determine the reason.

DECOLLATED NOT OK

HELD

Mission is in hold status.

REQUESTED HELD

A hold request has been issued for the mission but the request has not yet been accepted by the monitor.

REQUESTED FREE

A free request has been issued for a held mission but the request has not yet been accepted by the monitor.

REQUESTED RERUN

A rerun request has been issued for the mission but the request has not yet been accepted by the monitor.

DELETED

The mission order has been deleted by an authorized user.

REQUESTED CHANGE

Mission parameters have been changed via the Zoom option but the request has not yet been accepted by the monitor.

TO BE SUSPENDED

The mission is active during the time the New Day procedure is activated. The mission (or current cycle of a cyclic mission) finishes executing after the New Day procedure has ended.

SUSPENDED

A mission, which was active as the New Day procedure executed, finished executing after the New Day procedure ended and the Control-D monitor was reactivated. This mission (or additional cycles of a cyclic mission) is not processed further and cannot be rerun.

GENERIC

The report decollating mission is of GENERIC type, that is, triggered by the appearance of job output on specified classes. For details see GENERIC: General Parameter (decollating mission).

WAITING FOR JOB

The report decollating mission is eligible for processing and is currently waiting for a job with the same name as the decollating mission to appear on the JES output queue. If there is already a job on the output queue with the same name and the mission remains in the WAITING FOR JOB status, it means that Control-V has already processed the job, and is currently waiting for a new job (with the same name).

Search the Active Missions file for a report decollating mission for the same job name and the same job ID as the job on spool.

This mission is used by Control-V as an identifier that the job has already been decollated. If you want to force Control-V to decollate the same job again, place this mission (the one that ended) in HOLD status.

For a GENERIC report decollating mission, job output is searched for only in the classes specified in Control-D installation parameter GENCLAS. Therefore, a generic mission can be in WAITING FOR JOB status even if an output for the job exists on the spool in another class.

WAITING FOR PRINTER

The printing mission is eligible for printing, but all active printers are busy (that is, printing). (If no printers have been opened, refer to the Control-D and Control-V chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide for instructions.) If all printers are busy, Control-V waits until a printer is free and then lets the highest priority printing mission print.

IN QUEUE WAITING FOR PRINTER

This printing mission is waiting for an available printer (as explained above). It is the first one to start executing when a printer is available.

PRINTING INITIALIZATION INITIALIZING PRINTING PLAN

A printing mission is being prepared for printing.

BUILDING PRINT PLAN

The printing mission is currently preparing the printing plan (that is, determining which reports to print and the sort order). This status remains until Control-V begins putting reports on spool.

PRINTING ON dest

The printing mission is currently printing to the specified local printer destination (or JNAME under JES3).

PRINT POST PROCESSING

Printing finished. Post-processing parameters are currently being executed.

HOLD IN PROCESS

A hold request has been issued for a printing mission while the mission is printing. The mission stops printing at the end of the current user report.

(RESTARTED)

A held printing mission has been restarted (by a FREE command) and continues to print from the point at which printing was held.

BACKUP IN PROCESS

A backup mission is currently executing.

RESTORE IN PROCESS

A restore mission is currently executing.

MIGRATE IN PROCESS

A migration mission is currently executing.
