mindur
Specifies the shortest amount of time within which a
job normally runs and completes. If a job completes before this minimum
amount of time is reached, then the following actions are performed:
- One of the following actions is triggered: Abend, Confirm, or Continue.
- The job is shown as to have not reached its minimum duration in
the following places only if the job completes with SUCCESS:
- When running showjobs, showjobs ;props from the conman command line, MinDurationNotReached is displayed.
- From the Dynamic Workload Console in the job properties for the job.
- An informational message is written to the
TWS_home/stdlist/logs/yyyymmdd_TWSMERGE.log
file.
If this job is still running when JnextPlan is run, then the job is inserted in the USERJOBS job stream. The minimum duration setting is not maintained for the job in the USERJOBS job stream and will not be monitored. To have the job stream carried forward and avoid having the job being moved to the USERJOBS job stream, flag the original job stream where the minimum duration setting was specified as a carryforward job stream (setting the carryforward keyword in the job stream) if the enCarryForward global option is set to yes, otherwise, set the enCarryForward global option to all.
