Specifying remote job information in shadow jobs
The operations that you run on a remote engine workstation are
named shadow jobs. A shadow job is used to identify the job, in the
remote engine plan, to which the processing must point. To identify
the remote engine job, you must specify the appropriate information
in the panel that opens according to the type of remote engine:
- z/OS® remote engine
- The z/OS® REMOTE JOB INFO panel opens. To identify the remote job, specify the application ID and operation number.
- Distributed remote engine
- The DISTRIBUTED REMOTE JOB INFO panel opens. To identify the remote job specify the job stream workstation, job stream name, and job name. These objects must be located in the root folder (/).
In the
COMPLETE IF BIND FAILS
field,
specify how to set the shadow job status if the matching with the
remote job instance in the remote engine plan fails. The allowed values
are:
- Y
- The operation status is set to Complete and the successor starts.
- N
- The successor is not started until you delete the dependency manually or complete the operation manually. This is the default.
When you modify the remote job information in the current plan, an automatic re-bind of the shadow job is performed.
