Explanations

To log onto CA-71. From ISFP menu type E.7, then 7 for CA-7 Product Job Scheduling which takes you to the CA-7

Primary Option Menu.2. Type 1 for Onlines which takes you to the CA-7 title screen. At this screen you can (a)press enter for

next menu to select a help tutorial or (b) type a top line command.

Note. Commands commonly require the first character(s) to identify the screen you want to be viewing.Example: LQ takes you to the list queue or XQ takes you to the execute queue. String commandstogether to receive specific information, XQ,job=jobname. The screen identifier must be entered inconjunction with all commands. Jobname or job number may be used to display information. Retype

command (or at least first character) to refresh screen.

PSI Production Scheduling Interface

This is another way for us to view some of the queues. We can only VIEW the CA7 jobs, we cannotRESTART jobs from here. Before using PSI you need to set your ID's up for access. Log onto yoursystem and type E.7.P. From here go to option S - System Authority, then type an A for add requirement

type *ALL . This will bring you to the Authorization Screen. Here you should have thefollowing information at the bottom,

SYSTEM NAME PRIVILEGE

*ALL READ,WRITE

CA-7 Commands

Previous Runs of Jobslprrn,job=jobname Displays in and out times and status of last run only

Group or system name

ljob,job=jobname Displays basic job information including date and time of last run, elaspe time(elaptm), group or system name used to find SE information.

ljob,job=jobname,list=all Then press enter, this will show job specific information if any has been

provided

Determining Who Placed a Job on HoldXQ,JOB=JobnameType H next to job. This will show who put the job on Hold.

Placing a Job on Hold

To hold abended job or job in request queue. Type XQ takes you to the CA-7 QueueMaintenance

(XQJ arranges jobs in alphabetic order). Choose H from function menu on the right and type in front ofdesired job. Then fill out the panel (like ControlM).

To view job status (hold/non hold) from XQ screenType U in the function column in front of the job. Or type LQ,job=jobname to see job requirements.

To Demand in (or force in) a job on Hold


4/41

Use top line command demandh,job=jobname. Then to release job from hold status go to XQ screen andplace an R in front of the job. May include schid or other options in the demand command, seecommands list.

Editing Executable JCL

XQ takes you to the "CA-7 Queue Maintenance" screen, locate job, type E in command column to editQJCL, make changes, PF3 to backout and save.

Restart of a Job (rerun)

XQ takes you to the "CA-7 Queue Maintenance" screen, from function menu on the right type F for

restart in front of desired job. Complete screen information by typing in a REASON and by placing anX in desired field. Place an X in front of CA-11 Restart/Rerun. Complete Reason field on top line, and

START field with JS.PS and then press enter. Pseudo field is used to restart with no data setmaintenance

Additional options on this screen includes: resubmit for production (rerun from the top), force complete

Restart of Job in next step (by passing abending step)

Same as restarting of a job but must complete additional fields on Restart screen. LRTCD is use to

indicate the abending step. = field is completed with abending return code. Complete JS.PS with nextstep to be run.

Delete a job from CA-7 (cancel)

Top line command: cancel,j=####,force=yes,reason=perse. Should use job number because if there areduplicate jobnames, all jobs will be canceled.

Force complete a job

From XQ screen select job and then type F beside desired job, and complete next screen with REASON

code, and indicate type of action using an X.


5/41

Late jobsTo check the system for late jobs type the following top of the line command: LQ,job=*,st=late

Adding job dependencies

Type ADDRQ,job=##,depjob=jobname This command makes "jobname" a prerequisites for "###"

Can also issue user requirements by replacing depjob with usr

Viewing SYSOUT for a JobUse WSF2 / SAM

Removing in-conditions from a Job To Display Predecessors

Type XQ,job=jobname, after locating job, choose X form Function Menu at right side of screen.Complete the operation by typing X under the F in command column which will post that specific in

condition.

Check for Abends

E.7.7 then 1 for onlines. At command line type LQ which will take you to list queue screen. This willdisplay all jobs and their status.

Another top line command is LQ,ST=RSTR which is show only abended jobs.

Zooming a Job

Only command similar in CA-7 is: LQ,job=jobname, this will show a specific job and why the job iswaiting to run.

L,JOB,JOB=Jobname,List=* (List ALL(*) will list DD Information)List

INTRO. TO CA-7.

CA-7 is the Computer Associates scheduling product. It works quite differently from Control-M, so there willbe quite a learning curve in using CA-7. As opposed to Control-M, CA-7 is a very command oriented system,

that relies heavily on the use of queues.. Lets explain the bare essentials of the queues.

A schedule scan job wakes up every hour, and forecasts what jobs it thinks will run in the next 2 1/2 hours. Thistiming is a SAIPC option. These jobs are put in the request queue. When the requirements are met the job willgo to the ready queue, and then the active queue. Abended jobs will return to the request queue. Completedjobs will pass through the request queue on their way to the prior run log.

Jobs are either Scheduled in by time, or are triggered by a completed job. Either way, additional requirement canexist. For example Job A, is scheduled in for 2300 hours. When Job A finished, it Triggers Job B to start. Butif Job B has a requirement of Job C then it will not start until Job C is finished.

Before the jobs even get to CA-7s control they are intercepted by ZOOM. This is an EDS utility that resolvesall parms. The parms are defined as anything that has the format of |S001| or |Z001|. If the ZOOM failsand the Parm is not resolved then the job is put in the request Queue with a zoom failed message. Resolving

this error is covered inside.

1. GETTING INTO BASIC CA-7 / PSI (PSI is an EDS supplemental upgrade to CA-7)

The Production Scheduling Interface (PSI) is a TSO ISPF application that provides the user with standardinterface to the production environment. PSI provides an interface to CA-7 that lets a user determine the statusof a job, change the status of a job, and display information about a job.

PSI also interfaces with the EDS product Zparm and Override Options Manager (ZOOM). ZOOM wasdeveloped to handle EDS' need to process ZPARMs, SPARMs, and overrides. PSI provides the functions tomaintain the ZPARMs and overrides to be processed for a job by ZOOM.

All PSI access is controlled by CA-7 system ID. Rules must be written to let a user access jobs within aparticular system ID. Two types of authority, READ and WRITE, are allowed. In general, READ authority letsa user display information about a job, and WRITE authority lets a user alter the status or definition of a job.

Due to security concerns, the TSO commands HOLD, SUSPEND, TSO, BR, and ED are disabled in PSI.

A. type in E.7 on the TSO command line. Enter.------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. HOW IDENTIFY JOBS STUCK IN READY QUEUE

From the QUEUE DISPLAY screen in number 2 above.

There are only two cases where you will see jobs in the READY (RDY) queue. The first, and more common,case is where a job is ready to run but it is waiting for an initiator from the system. A job in this case usuallystays in the READY queue for only a few moments. Looking in SAM and seeing that the job is waiting for aninitiator is the easiest way to verify that there is no problem with the job.

The second case for a job in the READY queue is where the job was submitted for batch, but a sever JCL erroroccurred before any processing CPU was used. A restart step not found, would be a good example of this. AJOB STUCK IN THE READY QUEUE WILL REQUIRE SE INTERVENTION. Resolution will be discussedlater.

7. HOW TO REZOOM OR RESET A ZOOM ERROR, ALSO LONG TERM OVERRIDES.

From the QUEUE DISPLAY screen in number 2 above, you may encounter this situation.

This job had an unresolvable parameter. Either the JCL was updated, or a long term overide was addedincorrectly. This is a PSI failure, so the JCL never got to CA-7. The best short-term solution to running the jobnow is to create or fix the PSI override, and manually resolve the parms. However, a permanent solution mustdone.

First, find out why the PSI bombed. Put B on the line command. Enter.

You will bring up the JCL. search the JCL for the error messages by entering F //* W . Enter.

12. DEMANDING A JOB (FORCE)

From any command line in CA7 use the following command to force a job out into the request queue. Usingthe keyword RUN instead of DEMAND will also work, but RUN will cause the job to bypass requirementsand actually run.

By adding the keyword DEPJOB the job WCBSBBBB will be added, and it will depend on, or wait for job WCBSAAAA tocomplete before it will kick off.

AND COMMAND COMMAND FORMATS COMMAND RESULTS

demand,job=jobname,schid=nnn job is entered in the request queue in ca-7 with the assigneschid.

demand,job=jobname,schid=nnn,time=hhmm job is entered in the request queue in ca-7 with the assigneschid and a requirement of the assigned submit time (the ti

parameter assigns a submit time to the job which then becoa job requirement. If the time parameter is not used with tdemand command, then the job enters the request queue wno assigned submit time even if the job has a pre-definedsubmit time on its normal schedule.)

demandh,job=jobname,schid=nnn job enters into the request queue on hold. When you use th

command format, a screen will come up asking for requireinformation (i.e. your name, phone number, reason for put

job on hold)

Demand,job=jobname,schid=nnn,set=ntr This command will schedule a job in ca-7s request queueall requirements will be ignored, triggering will be by-passand no post-processing will occur which means no prior rurecord will be created. Using the SET=NTR parameter like running a job outside of ca-7 but still have the batch

processing authorization.

fjob,sys=systemid,from=(mmddyy,hhmm),to=(mmddyy,hhmm)

NOTE: You can also use job=jobname in place of thesys=systemid. (i.e. job=msp3*)

DOES NOT SHOW OTHER (INDIRECT

REQUIREMENTS !!

the systemid needs to be replaced by a valid ca-7 systemid(i.e. mss3hamp); the date and time needs to be supplied fo

both the from and to parameters. This is the command thaused to forecast the jobs that will run during the dates andtimes specified. You can do forecasts on cycles for an entiryears worth of dates providing that the calendars have bee

built for that year.

fjob,sys=systemid,from=(mmddyy,hhmm),to=(mmddyy,hhmm),seq=job

same information as above but with the addition of seq=jthe results will be forecasted in jobname sequence. The deforecast is in time sequence.

Fjob,sys=systemid,span=nn this command will provide a forecast of what will run for tspecified systemid for the supplied span time interval. In owords, fjob,sys=mss3hamp,span=24 would show you whawould run for the nationwide production cycle from midni


38/41

to midnight for todays date. Without a specified date, theassumed date is today date.

Fqjob,sys=systemid,span=nn This command will forecast what remains to run for thespecified systemid based upon what is currently in ca-7srequest queue at the current time. For example, if during tnight you wanted to take a snapshot of what remains to runa particular cycle, you would want to issue this command fthe systemid of that cycle and supply the time span interva

be forecasted. (i.e. fqjob,sys=mss3hamp,span=8) would syou what remains to run for the nationwide production cycfor the next 8 hours from the current time.

Fqjob,sys=systemid,span=nn,seq=job This command will produce the same results only in jobnasequence because you are using the seq=job parameter.

Fqjob,sys=systemid,from=(mmddyy,hhmm),to=(mmddyy,hhmm) This command will show you what will run for the specifiesystemid for the period of time specified based upon what jare currently in ca-7 queues. You can also use the seq=jo

parameter with this command format.

frjob,job=jobname this command will show you how the job gets into the systFor example, if a job msp3db10 is triggered in somewherethe cycle and you want to see how that sequence looked, yo

can issue this command and it will show you a reversejobflow (reverse trigger flow)

frjob,job=jobname,schid=nnn this will show you the reverse jobflow for the specified jobschid.

frqjob,job=jobname shows how the specified job (currently in ca-7s queue gotthe system today (shows a reverse trigger based upon the jorecord that is currently in ca-7s queue.

Lact This command shows you all jobs that are currently runninthe operating system for which you are authorized to view.

Lact,job=jobname (you can also specify sys=systemid wheresystemid is replaced by the userid for the cycle; instead ofspecifying a specific job)

This command shows all jobs running with the specifiedjobname (you can use masking and * is the maskingcharacter

Lact,job=*,st=late Shows you all active jobs with a late status which simplemeans that they missed their calculated due out tiime as

defined by ca-7. There are various values for the st optionthey are found on page 2-188 of the CA-7 3.2 MVSCommands Guide

Ljcl,job=jobname Shows you the jcl for any job defined to ca-7 and the librarwhere the jcl was found.

Ljob,job=jobname,list=all Shows how the job is defined in ca-7. This command showany schedules, triggers, follow-ons, requirements, or conflthat the specified job has.

Ljob,job=jobname,list=rqmt Shows only what this job will wait on. Once again, thisinformation is from the ca-7 database. It is NOT listing hothe job appears in the request queue right now if, indeed th

job is in the request queue.

Ljob,job=jobname,list=depj Shows only the jobs that are dependent on the completion the specified job.

Ljob,job=jobname,list=schd Shows only the scheduling information for the specified jo

Ljob,job=jobname,list=rqusr Shows only the user requirements information

Ljob,job=jobname,list=trig Shows all the triggering information pertaining to the specjob (what job will trigger this one and what this job trigger

Ljob,job=jobname,list=rqvrm Shows virtual resource requirements only (this is conflictinformation; in other words, it shows the jobs that cannot rwith the specified due to contention problems)


39/41

Lprrn,job=jobname Shows information about the last successful completion ofspecified job. There is only ONE prior run record for anygiven job providing that the job has run successfully at leaone time in ca-7.


40/41

Lq,job=jobname Shows all the jobs in ca-7 primary queues (request, ready, active) for which you have authorization. You can use the

parameter with this command as well.

Lrdy,job=* Show all the jobs in ca-7 which whose job records currentlreside in ca-7s ready queue. Jobs should not be in the quefor very long (maybe a couple of seconds). If they stay in tqueue for an excessive period of time, there may be a syntaerror pertaining to the jobcard. Check the output queue inSAM. More than likely, the job will show as awaiting prinSelect the output and you will see the errror. You can use tST parameter with this command as well.

Lreq,job=* Shows all jobs waiting in ca-7s request queue. Jobs will bdisplayed in this queue if they are abended or waiting onrequirements. These requirements must be satisfied before

job can be submitted for execution. You can use the STparameter with this command, too.


41/41

Lschd,job=jobname,list=schd This command will list all the schedule information fromca-7 database for the specified job.

Lschd,job=jobname,list=cals Shows a month-by-month calendar using the schedule dataselected. This command is valid only for jobs with resolvescheduled; in other words, the jobs must have a definedschedule or must be scheduled jobs. An example of this tyof job is any DA00 job.

Lschd,job=jobname,list=sidnnn This command will display a month-by-month schedule dacalendar for one schedule ID specified by the nnn value.Again, this command is only valid for jobs where the schidare defined (i.e. DA00).

Lschd,job=jobname,list=bysid This command will display a month-by-month calendar foeach schedule ID. Again, this command is only valid for jwhere the schids are defined (i.e. DA00).

E Requeue,job=jobname Puts job back in ca-7s request queue. Usually used whenjob is sitting in the RDY queue due to a jcl syntax error onjobcard.

Hold,job=jobname Places job on hold. Use this command only when the job ica-7s request queue. This will keep the job from being

submitted after all its requirements have been satisfied.Release,job=jobname Removes the job from hold status
