Rerun Job

Indicates if an automatic rerun should be performed when the On Statement/Code criteria are satisfied.

Rerun Job specifies that the job should be rerun according to the criteria specified in the Maximum reruns and Rerun Every parameters. These parameters must be specified before a Rerun Job action can be defined.

NOTE: Rerun Job cannot be used to rerun SMART Folders.

For most jobs:

If Rerun Job is specified, and End Job Ok or End Job Not Ok is specified, and implemented, the last statement to be implemented determines the status assigned to the job.

For z/OS jobs:

When a Rerun Job action is specified for a job, the job’s completion status is set to NOTOK, even if it was previously specified as OK.

• Cyclic jobs cannot contain a Rerun Job parameter.
• Rerun Job cannot be specified together with End Job Ok or End Job Not Ok for the same codes-event.

  When:

  End Job Ok, End Job Not Ok, and/or Rerun Job are specified for different codes-events in a job processing definition.

  -and-

  More than one of the codes-events is executed, including the codes-event specifying End Job Ok.

  Then:

  End Job Ok is overridden by End Job Not Ok and/or Rerun Job, regardless of the order in which the codes-events are executed.
