Recovering from workstation failures
The scheduler can transfer operations from one workstation to another in the event of a failure or of the unavailability of a workstation. If you specify that operations be automatically rerouted to alternate workstations, ensure that your systems are symmetrical as far as data set and catalog references are concerned.
This is the effect of the first parameters of the WSFAILURE and the WSOFFLINE keywords of the JTOPTS statement on cleanup
processing:
- ERROR
- All operations with the immediate cleanup type are changed to manual cleanup. This means that you must initiate or discard the action from the MODIFY CURRENT PLAN panel.
- RESTART
- The cleanup action is discarded.
- LEAVE
- The cleanup action is determined by the succeeding status of the operation.
