Collecting intercepted jobs periodically for BC-XBP 2.0

With the BC-XBP 2.0 interface, you can configure the job interception collector using an IBM Workload Scheduler job that periodically retrieves intercepted jobs and relaunches them.

Define an IBM Workload Scheduler job that uses the SAP interception collector task to collect intercepted jobs and restart them.

To define an IBM Workload Scheduler job that collects intercepted job and relaunches them, use the following syntax:

ENGINE_NAME_HOSTING_XA#[folder/]JOBNAME
  SCRIPTNAME "TWA_home/methods/r3batch -t HIJ -c UNIQUE_ID"
  DESCRIPTION "Collects intercepted jobs on SAP XA XA_Unique_ID"
  STREAMLOGON TWSuser
  RECOVERY STOP

Where:

ENGINE_NAME_HOSTING_XA: The name of the engine workstation hosting the XA workstation with the r3batch access method that communicates with the SAP system.
JOBNAME: Name of the IBM Workload Scheduler job and the folder in which it is defined, if any.
TWA_home: Fully qualified path to your IBM Workload Scheduler installation.
XA_Unique_ID: The unique identifier for the extended agent workstation. See UNIQUE_ID for more details about retrieving the unique identifier.
–t HIJ: This is the SAP task type to run the job interception collector. HIJ stands for Handle Intercepted Jobs.
TWSuser: Name of the IBM Workload Scheduler user that launches the access method.

The interception collector job runs at periodical intervals; for example, every 10 minutes. It retrieves all the jobs that have been intercepted since the last run of the interception collector, and launches them again according to a template.
