If an automatic function does not start when you think it should, there are many conditions that can be the cause. They include but are not limited to the following:

• The function is held or DFSMShsm is in EMERGENCY mode.
• Today is a "N" day in the automatic processing cycle.
• The function is already running.
• The function appears to have already run today. This means that the window is defined in a way such that the present time is a new day in the automatic processing cycle. For automatic primary space management and automatic dump, the planned start time must be later than the last actual completion time.
• The operator’s permission reply is outstanding.
