Parameter

Description

Start Spawned Job

If you select Start Spawned Job, Control‑M for SAP checks the status of each spawned job and starts any spawned job with Scheduled status.

No Detection Needed

No spawned jobs are detected.

Detect and Create According to

Parent (current) job definition: Detect spawned jobs of the current job, and extract these jobs to Control-M, with identical properties to the "parent job."

Notes: This means that if the spawned jobs create spawned jobs of their own, they are also detected. Additionally, all generations of spawned jobs are created in the folder to which the original parent job belongs.

A specific job definition: A field is displayed, in which you can enter a specific SAP-type job name. Detected spawned jobs of the current job are extracted to Control-M with identical properties to the selected (not the current) job.

Important: The selected job must exist in the same scheduling table as the current job.

To detect further "generations" of spawned jobs, select the "Detect Spawned Jobs" option in the Job Properties Pane of the selected set job.
