Handling operations that end in error
This chapter explains how to handle failed operations. You use the ended-in-error list, which is part of the MODIFYING THE CURRENT PLAN (MCP) panel, which was introduced in Updating the current plan.
When an operation that is under the control of HCL Workload Automation for Z does not complete successfully, it is reported as having ended in error. The scheduler automatically reports failures of jobs or started tasks, and you can manually report failures of manual operations via HCL Workload Automation for Z panels. The scheduler keeps a list of all operations that have ended in error. You can display this list using either the MODIFYING THE CURRENT PLAN panel, which lets you take some action on the operation, or the QCP panel, where you can only browse the operation.
- Restarting the operation
- Completing or deleting the operation or the occurrence
- Requesting automatic recovery for the operation
- Complete or delete an occurrence group
- Initiating, discarding, or displaying restart and cleanup actions
EQQMEP1L- Handling operations ended in error (left part) shows an example of an ended-in-error list, showing the PAYDAILY job having ended with an abend.
Sometimes you might need to restart an operation even though it has completed successfully. For information about restarting operations that have not failed, see Restarting an occurrence from the beginning.
