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.
