Changing the details of an operation

About this task

To change the details of an operation, display the list of operations by entering OPER in the command line of the MODIFYING AN OPERATION IN THE CURRENT PLAN panel. The MODIFYING OPERATIONS IN THE CURRENT PLAN panel is displayed, where you can modify items such as:

Workstation name
Job name
Operation text
Use of workstation resources
Submit options
Time options
Operation status
User fields

Note: If you are using the advanced panels, you can change the details of an operation by either:

Selecting Modify from the TABLE ROW COMMANDS panel (see EQQSRCLP - Table Row Commands panel).
Selecting Modify from the Operation menu in the OPERATION IN THE CURRENT PLAN panel (see List of operation actions available from the Operation menu).

You can perform several actions by specifying the appropriate value in the command field of an operation, for example:

J: To edit the JCL for the job.
L: To view the output of completed operations. HCL Workload Automation for Z retrieves the output from the operation. Enter L a second time to browse the output.
O: To browse the operator instructions for the operation.
S: To display more details about the operation by returning to the MODIFYING AN OPERATION IN THE CURRENT PLAN panel.

Note:

If you modify an operation by mistake, when you are returned to the MODIFYING AN OPERATION IN THE CURRENT PLAN panel use the CANCEL command to discard the changes. However, if you modified the JCL using the J command, the changes that you made take effect even if you exit from the MODIFYING AN OPERATION IN THE CURRENT PLAN panel using CANCEL.
PF3 is the confirmation of a modify request. By entering PF3, the resulting operation values comprise the changes specified together with the existing values that have not been changed. If a modify request is entered and PF3 is issued without any change, the operation values are set to the existing values (for example, if the submit option was set to Y, the operation is submitted). If a modify request is entered by mistake, when you are returned to the MODIFYING AN OPERATION IN THE CURRENT PLAN panel, use CANCEL to discard the request.
Changes that would force a status change of a started or completed dependent operation are rejected.
