Configuring the job status mapping policy

IBM Workload Scheduler calculates the status of an IBM Workload Scheduler job based on the PeopleSoft job Run Status and Distribution Status. In PeopleSoft, the run status monitors the running of the job until it reaches a final status; the distribution status monitors the status of the output of the job. If the final status of a PeopleSoft job is neither success nor warning, IBM Workload Scheduler ignores the distribution status and the IBM Workload Scheduler job status is ABEND.

If the final status of a PeopleSoft job is success or warning, you can decide whether to use the distribution status of the PeopleSoft job when determining the status of the IBM Workload Scheduler job by setting the PS_DISTSTATUS option in the options file:
0
The distribution status is ignored and the IBM Workload Scheduler job status is calculated as shown in Table 2.
1
The distribution status is used and the IBM Workload Scheduler job status is calculated as shown in Table 1. This is the default value.
Table 1 shows the relationship between the run status, the distribution status, and the IBM Workload Scheduler job status. The return code associated with the status is shown in parentheses. IBM Workload Scheduler uses this return code to evaluate the return code condition you specified in the Return Code Mapping Expression field in the Properties panel of the job definition. For more details about this field, refer to the online help by clicking the "?" in the top-right corner of the panel.

Table 2 shows the relationship between the PeopleSoft run status and the IBM Workload Scheduler job status. The return code associated with the status is shown in parentheses. IBM Workload Scheduler uses this return code to evaluate the return code condition you specified in the Return Code Mapping Expression field in the Properties panel of the job definition.
