Setting up and running automatic recovery for IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent jobs

IBM Z Workload Scheduler supports the use of automatic recovery statements in IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent scripts.

When you create or edit an IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent script, start the lines where you specify the automatic recovery statements with //* OPC, //*%OPC, or //*>OPC. These lines are removed before the script is downloaded onto the IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agents.

You can run the following recovery actions on IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent jobs:

Restart the current occurrence at the failed operation, with or without JCL changes.
Restart the current occurrence at another operation.
Add occurrences of special recovery applications. Make the restart of the failed occurrence dependent on the completion of the recovery occurrences.
Release a dependent occurrence.

Data set cleanup is not available.
