From this panel you choose among the restart and cleanup functions. For step restart, see Restarting an operation from a certain step. Also, refer to Restart and cleanup for more information about setting cleanup options.

For job restart or step restart, perform the following steps:

Select job restart or step restart for an operation. If cleanup is required, confirm that the cleanup type is other than none.
For step restart only, the Step RESTART SELECTION panel is displayed. Enter the GO command, and the MODIFYING THE CLEANUP ACTION panel is displayed.
In the MODIFYING THE CLEANUP ACTIONS panel, enter the GO command. If you specified Y (yes) for the Edit JCL option in the OPERATION RESTART AND CLEANUP panel, you can correct the JCL. The CONFIRM RESTART panel, shown in EQQMERTP - Confirm restart, is displayed.

The start cleanup options can be requested only for an operation with the cleanup type set to automatic, immediate, or manual. You can also issue a job restart or step restart to perform the cleanup together with the job run instead of separately before the run.

When you restart a job, you can give a reason, which is written to the track log for audit purposes.

When you confirm the restart, HCL Workload Automation for Z:

Resets the operation status to ready.
Initiates any cleanup actions.
Resubmits the operation when all conditions are met.

If you cancel out of restart and cleanup, the statuses are reset to their original values.
