Remote host network disconnections

Control-M/Agent requires an open connection to a remote host from the time of job submission until the end of the job. If a network disconnection occurs, Control-M/Agent attempts to restore the connection. During the reconnection attempts, jobs running on the remote host, through the specified Control-M/Agent, remain in executing status.

If the connection is restored, the status of jobs is updated to reflect their current status, either completed or still running. If the connection is not restored after the specified number of attempts, the jobs end with NOT OK status.

The OUTPUT and exit code for jobs are stored in files on the remote host. The files reside in the user home directory of the job’s run as user, in the directory defined by the RJX_OUTPUT_DIR system parameter, as described in Application support parameters for UNIX.

If network connections are restored, these files are deleted, by default, when the jobs end. If network connections are not restored, you can check these files to see if the jobs completed successfully or failed.
