Managing job instances
You manage jobs submitted to an agent for z/OS with the same commands available for all HCL Workload Automation jobs.
Use the conman command line or the Dynamic Workload Console to manage the job instances. Most of the job management commands and actions of HCL Workload Automation apply also to agent for z/OS job instances, but not all. The following sections list what you can and cannot do.
Commands and Actions you can run
All except for killing job instances.
Commands and Actions you cannot run
You
cannot run the kill
command on job instances.
This restrains the use of the maxdur
job
stream keyword on agent for z/OS jobs.
That is, if in a job stream you specify the maxdur
keyword
with the onmaxdur kill
argument, the job is not killed
if it exceeds the time limit, in spite of the fact that the MaxDurationExceeded
and KillSubmitted
flags
are reported by the conman showjobs
command. In the
area of event-driven workload automation, the MaxDurationExceeded
event
is generated; it can be used to trigger a number of actions, but not
the KillJob
action.
