Step 2

Enter/select Details for a new z/OS task, using the field descriptions below as a guide.

  • Required fields display an asterisk ( * ) after the field name.
  • Default values for fields, if available, display automatically.

To display more of the Details fields on the screen, you can either:

  • Use the scroll bar.
  • Temporarily hide the list above the Details.
  • Click the New button  Image Added button above the list to display a pop-up version of the Details.

Step 3

To open an existing record on the list, either:

  • Click a record in the list to display its record Details below the list. (To clear record Details below the list, click the New button Image Added button that displays above and below the Details.)
  • Clicking the Details icon next to a record name in the list, or right-click a record in the list and then click Open in the Action menu that displays, to display a pop-up version of the record Details.
  • Right-click a record in the a list, or open a record and right-click in the record Details, and then click Open In Tab in the Action menu that displays, to display the record Details under a new tab on the record list page (see Record Details as Tabs).

...

Depending on the values that you enter / select for these fields, and whether or not the z/OS task has ever been launched, more (or less) fields may display. See the field descriptions, below, for a description of all fields that may display in the z/OS Task Details.

Use JCL Override Library
Use JCL Override Library
Use JCL Override Library

Allows the task to work with a JCL override library on the target system. If this option is selected, the Agent will check the JCL override path (specified in Creating and Running a z/OS Task#JCL JCL Override Location) before submitting the job from Creating and Running a z/OS Task#JCL JCL Location.
 
If a JCL member is found at the override path, the job is submitted from there. Otherwise, the Agent will look to the Creating and Running a z/OS Task#JCL JCL Location path for submission.
 
The task instance will display the actual path that was used for job submission in Creating and Running a z/OS Task#Submitted Submitted JCL Location.

Anchor
JCL Override Location
JCL Override Location
JCL Override Location

Required if Creating and Running a z/OS Task#Use Use JCL Override Library is selected; Specifies the file and member name potentially containing an override JCL script.  
The Agent will check this location for JCL before looking in the standard Creating and Running a z/OS Task#JCL JCL Location. If JCL is found in this location, the job will be submitted from there. If JCL is not found in this location, the Agent will submit the job from the standard Creating and Running a z/OS Task#JCL JCL Location.
 
Missing override JCL is not considered an error condition.
 
As with Creating and Running a z/OS Task#JCL JCL Location, when you are using the JCL_LIBRARY feature, you can substitute the name of the library with a string starting with "&" that names the library specified in the uags.conf file with the JCL_library definitions.

Anchor

Delete Override JCL

Optional if Creating and Running a z/OS Task#Use Use JCL Override Library is selected; Allows the task to define criteria that will control the automated clean-up of the override JCL. If this option is not selected, the Controller and Agent will take no action to delete the override JCL from the target system.

Anchor
Override Instance Count for Deletion
Override Instance Count for Deletion
Override Instance Count for Deletion

Required if Creating and Running a z/OS Task#Delete Delete Override JCL is selected; Specifies the number of successful override instances that must occur before the override JCL library member is deleted.
 
When the deletion criteria has been satisfied, the Controller will instruct the Agent to delete the member specified in Creating and Running a z/OS Task#JCL JCL Override Location.
 
An override instance is considered successful only if the ending state in the controller is SUCCESS.
 

Note
titleNote

Manual resubmissions of a task instance do not increment the tracked number of successful override instances that go towards satisfying the deletion criteria.
 
If a task is not submitted from the override location (that is, no override member was found), the task's "successful override instance count" is reset to 0.

Use JCL Override Library
Use JCL Override Library
Use JCL Override Library

Allows the task to work with a JCL override library on the target system. If this option is selected, the Agent will check the JCL override path (specified in JCL Override Location) before submitting the job from JCL Location.
 
If a JCL member is found at the override path, the job is submitted from there. Otherwise, the Agent will look to the JCL Location path for submission.
 
The task instance will display the actual path that was used for job submission in Submitted JCL Location.

Anchor
JCL Override Location
JCL Override Location
JCL Override Location

If Use JCL Override Library is selected; Required. Specifies the file and member name potentially containing an override JCL script.  
The Agent will check this location for JCL before looking in the standard JCL Location. If JCL is found in this location, the job will be submitted from there. If JCL is not found in this location, the Agent will submit the job from the standard JCL Location.
 
Missing override JCL is not considered an error condition.
 
As with JCL Location, when you are using the JCL_LIBRARY feature, you can substitute the name of the library with a string starting with "&" that names the library specified in the uags.conf file with the JCL_library definitions.

Anchor
Delete Override JCL
Delete Override JCL
Delete Override JCL

If Use JCL Override Library is selected; Optional. Allows the task to define criteria that will control the automated clean-up of the override JCL. If this option is not selected, the Controller and Agent will take no action to delete the override JCL from the target system.

Anchor

Override Instance Count for Deletion
Override Instance Count for Deletion
Override Instance Count for Deletion

If Delete Override JCL is selected; Required. Specifies the number of successful override instances that must occur before the override JCL library member is deleted.
 
When the deletion criteria has been satisfied, the Controller will instruct the Agent to delete the member specified in JCL Override Location.
 
An override instance is considered successful only if the ending state in the controller is SUCCESS.
 

Note
titleNote

Manual resubmissions of a task instance do not increment the tracked number of successful override instances that go towards satisfying the deletion criteria.
 
If a task is not submitted from the override location (that is, no override member was found), the task's "successful override instance count" is reset to 0.


Anchor
Number of Override Instances

If Delete Override JCL is selected; Read only; system-supplied. Indicates the number of successful override instances that have occurred for this task. This number is checked against the deletion criteria to determine when the override JCL member should be deleted.
 

Note
titleNote

This number is automatically reset to 0 by the system if a task instance does not submit from override JCL (that is, no override member was found).
