Control M: Active Jobs screen AJF

OPTION 3 - ACTIVE JOBS SCREEN 

• This screen lists all the jobs on the ‘ACTIVE SCHEDULE’. 

• Jobs are listed in this screen in the order they are forced out. 
• Jobs are loaded in one of two ways. 

• Schedule load jobs run after midnight and will load any jobs scheduled to run that day.  Also, many jobs are forced onto the schedule throughout the day, either manually by the OTA’s or prod svcs, via some form of automation such as a Control-O rule, an existing job on the AJF, or SYSD.

• Jobs will remain on this screen until they meet conditions to be ‘rolled off’. 

• Jobs that are ENDED OK, will roll off with the next schedule load.  

• Jobs that are in are in some form of ENDED NOT OK or WAIT SCHEDULE will remain on the schedule for a standard of 3 days. 

• Jobs that are in a HELD state will never roll off until released, jobs that are active or in an EXECUTING state also will not roll off until they leave that state.

  WAIT SCHEDULE	– waiting on requirements, including but solely IN-CONDITIONS, RESOURCE requirement, TIME requirement, schedule CONTROL.
  EXECUTING	– job is executing.
  WAIT EXECUTION	– all requirements have been met, job is waiting on requirement external to the scheduler – (common causes – job is waiting on JES init or is on HOLD in JES queue)
  HELD WAIT SCHEDULE	– job has been held manually, it will need to be freed. (note- a job will show up like this whether or not it held by other requirements (ie IN-CONDITIONS etc.)
  REQUESTED HELD	– hold has been issued, but has not been completed.
  REQUESTED CHANGE	– change to jobsetup on AJF has been perfromed, but not yet completed.
  WAIT CONFIRMATION	– job is setup with a CONFIRM=Y parameter, meaning it requires someone to issue a C next to the job to run.   Like a held job, it may be waiting on other requirements.
  WAIT SUBMISSION	– all requirements have been met, job is about to execute.
  ENDED OK	– job has ended ok.
  ENDED OK – FORCED OK	– indicates the job has been forced ok
  ENDED NOT OK	– job has ended abnormally.
  ENDED NOT OK	– JCL ERROR – ended not ok due to jcl error.
  ENDED NOT OK	– DUE TO CC – ended not ok due to high return codes.
  ENDED NOT OK	– REASON UNKNOWN – Incomplete sysout, Control-M can find the sysout,but cannot determine how the job ended (system crashes, or if the job was terminated via asid)
  NOT SUBMITTED	– Control-M attempted to submit the job, but failed (reason can be found in the IOA log – common cause, jcl not found)
  DISAPPEARED	– Control M could not find the sysout of a job and could not determine it’s result.
  DELETED	– Entry has been manually deleted.
