Preparing jobs at a setup workstation
A setup workstation is a general workstation used for preparing jobs. In HCL Workload Automation for Z, the operation of preparing jobs is immediately followed by the operation that runs the job on the computer workstation. If it is not waiting for other conditions to be met, the job can be started as soon as job setup is complete.
When you set the next logical status for an operation at a job setup workstation (with the N row command), HCL Workload Automation for Z reports the status of the setup operation as S (started). The action that HCL Workload Automation for Z takes depends on whether it finds promptable variables in the job that have not been resolved.
Note: When you edit the job using the READY
LIST or MCP
panels, you edit the latest job from the JS file, which is where HCL Workload Automation for Z places
modified jobs. The original job is always left unaltered in the partitioned
data set allocated to the ddname EQQJBLIB (JBLIB). To force HCL Workload Automation for Z to
read a fresh copy of the job from JBLIB, delete all the lines and
end the edit.
