Automated Job Post-Processing in CONTROL-M

Automated Job Post-Processing in CONTROL-M

Once the job has executed, the CONTROL-M monitor implements the
post-processing instructions defined in the job scheduling definition.
Post-processing instructions can be defined for virtually any situation (job
ended successfully, job abended, a particular condition code occurred in a
particular step, and so on).


• As part of post-processing, CONTROL-M can do the following:
• add a prerequisite condition to, or delete a prerequisite condition from,
the IOA Conditions file
This can trigger or prevent the submission of a job in the Active Jobs file.
• force the placement of a job scheduling definition into the Active Jobs
file, regardless of the job’s basic scheduling criteria
• set AutoEdit variables
• send (shout) a specified message to a specified location through the
SHOUT facility or by electronic mail
• send a message by mail to the recipient identified by the mail name
prefix
• change the final status of a job to OK or NOTOK
• andle the job’s SYSOUT
This includes changing its class, deleting it, rerouting it to another node,
releasing it for printing, or copying it to another location.
• if CONTROL-B is active, invoke a CONTROL-B rule
• rerun a job
• perform an MVS job restart; for more information, see the description of
parameter OUT in Chapter 3, “Job Production Parameters”
• if CONTROL-R is active, perform a CONTROL-R job restart
• if CONTROL-R is active, automatically archive certain portions of the
job’s output
• stop recycling of cyclic job
