Skipping Steps during Initial Run

In a z/OS task, you can specify that one or more steps from the JCL should be skipped when the Controller launches the job. You achieve this by adding SKIPSTNN variables (or parameters) to your z/OS task record.

...

Overriding Key JCL Parameters from Universal Controller

When you launch a z/OS task from the Controller, you can specify a different Jobname, Jobclass, Msgclass, Schedule ID or add a JOBPARM card. This enables you to run your JCL jobs from the Controller without having to go in and modify your JCL. You can do so by entering new value into the appropriate field in the z/OS Task Details.

Disabling Automatic Data Set Deletion

Universal Automation Center Agent (UAG) will automatically detect and delete data sets that would cause a NOT CATLGD 2 condition. The data set deletion takes place before the job is started. Automatic data set deletion can be disabled for a z/OS task by defining the OPSDSDEL parameter with a value of NO in the z/OS task definition.

...

The Re-run Report will indicate if the feature has been disabled.

Re-running a z/OS Task Instance

When you re-run a z/OS task, you must select job steps in the task to include in the re-run; you cannot simply click a Re-run button or Re-run in an Action menu, as with other tasks.

...

Re-running a z/OS Task Instance in Start Failure Status

If a z/OS task instance is in Start Failure status, the existence or non-existence of Restartable Job Steps will determine the outcome of a Re-run command.

• If Restartable Job Steps exist, you can re-run the task instance from any steps identified as Restartable under the Restartable Job Steps tab.
• If Restartable Job Steps do not exist, you must re-submit the task instance from the beginning, as when re-running a z/OS task instance from the In Doubt status.

Restartable Job Steps List Column Descriptions

The following table describes each column on the z/OS Restartable Job Steps list.

...

Interactively Ignoring a Step Code to Complete a Task

If the step code (exit code) on a previous step is causing a step failure, but you still want to finish the job, you can change the step code in order to complete the task.

...

CA7/CA11 Toleration

Non-Restartable Customized Job Steps

The Controller can read and interpret JCL DD names that have been customized for CA11 and UCC. This allows you to launch your existing CA11 and UCC jobs from the Controller without modifying the JCL.

...

• CA11NR - CA11 Non-Restartable
• UCC11NR - UCC11 Non-Restartable
• OPSNR000 - Opswise Non-Restartable

SCHID - Overriding the CA7 Schedule ID

The Schedule ID field in the z/OS Task Details allows you to override the CA7 SCHID (Schedule ID).

#JI,ID=1-39

Non-Restartable Job Steps

A z/OS Agent determines that a job step is non-restartable if the step contains any of the following:

• One of the special DDNAMEs: CA11NR, UCC11NR, or OPSNR000.
• DD statement with DISP=(NEW,PASS) or (OLD,DELETE). (Note that the third DISP value is not considered by the agent.)
• A backwards volume reference. For example: VOL=REF=...

Viewing Re-run Reports

The Controller keeps a detailed record of task re-runs. This data is written to the Output tab on the task instance record, as shown in the sample below:
 

Viewing Audit Trails on a Restart

The Controller maintains detailed audit records on all system activity. The following audit record is for a launch on a z/OS task.
