Completing an application occurrence

When you want to complete the entire application occurrence, enter C in the row command field for the occurrence on the MODIFYING OCCURRENCES IN THE PLAN panel. The scheduler presents a confirmation panel that includes a list of operations or occurrences that depend from the occurrence for which you have requested completion. The dependencies with the predecessors are deleted. The normal dependencies listed are also considered complete if you enter Y. From this panel, you can request that IBM Z Workload Scheduler HOLD or NOP a dependent operation. After your confirmation, IBM Z Workload Scheduler sets all operations to C (complete) status, except for the suppressed by condition operations, that keep their status.

If you manually set an occurrence to Completed through the MCP function, some dependencies could be deleted because no longer consistent. This deletion does not produce any JT record, but is tracked only in the MT0 data area that is appended to the occurrence completion JT record. As a consequence, this kind of deletion is not specifically registered in the audit report.

Note:
  1. If you are using the advanced panels, you can set a selected operation to complete from the:
    • TABLE ROW COMMANDS panel (see Figure 2).
    • Action menu in the OPERATION IN THE CURRENT PLAN panel (see Figure 6).
    • Occurrence menu in the OPERATION IN THE CURRENT PLAN panel (see Occurrence).
  2. If you set the status of an application occurrence to complete, IBM Z Workload Scheduler can submit its successor operations or occurrences.
  3. The selected occurrence can contain an in-error operation, with conditional successors in final status, because of already evaluated conditions. The scheduler does not evaluate again these conditions after the occurrence status change, in fact no operation reruns, but sets them to the Frozen by complete extended status.
