Conditions that prevent dumping

When dumping jobs, the DJ facility normally dumps all jobs that meet the criteria specified by the operator. However, the following conditions prevent DJ from dumping a selected job or net:
  • The job is awaiting transmission across networking lines and is not in operator hold. Use the *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=nodename,HOLD command to change the status of all jobs at a node to hold.
  • The DJC network is not in operator hold. Use the *MODIFY,N,ID=djcnet,H command to place the net in hold status.
  • The job is in spool hold. Use the *MODIFY,Q,DD=ddn,RELEASE command to release the spool data set that contains data for the job.
  • The job's spool control block that DJ dumps cannot be accessed on spool or the job has failed and is in the process of being restarted.
  • The job is a PROCLIB update job, a demand select job, an operator-called DSP, or an input service job.
  • The job is being processed by another DJ DSP or was already dumped.
  • Translation was specified on the *CALL,DJ command to migrate back to another level of JES3, the job contains either dynamic output or line mode spanned data, and the job is not an NJE store-and-forward.
  • The job's status on a scheduler element is one of the following:
    • The job is active on the MAIN scheduler element and is not at a logical point in the MAIN service processing where it can be dumped.
    • The job is active on the OUTSERV scheduler element. It is not on the writer queue or already has been scheduled by a writer.
    • The job is active on a scheduler element other than MAIN or OUTSERV. (See the preceding list items regarding the MAIN and OUTSERV scheduler elements.)
    • The job is between scheduler elements and the next scheduler element to be processed is PURGE.
    • The job contains a scheduler element for a DSP that is not defined in the JES3 release to which you are migrating.
    • The job contains a scheduler element zero that is not for the ISDRVR DSP, and the job is being translated.
    • If you specify OUTPUT=ALL, dump job will not dump APPC SYSOUT.
    • The job using dynamic output when the DJ DSPis called with OUTPUT=ALL specified on the *CALL command.
  • Jobs that are waiting for restart by automatic restart management cannot be dumped.
