    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: System Automation operations must       *
    *                      have Error Tracking and Highest Return  *
    *                      Code fields always set to default       *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY THE PTF FIXING THIS APAR               *
    ****************************************************************
    The jobs that run on a System Automation workstations are
    not controlled directly by TWSz product: they are controlled
    by Netview product.
    For this reason the Error Tracking and Highest Return Code
    options are not applicable for these jobs.
    A dialogue check must be introduced to avoid that a value
    different from the default value could be filled in these two
    fields.
    The check must be introduced both in AD and MCP dialogue.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A new check has been introduced and the following TWS for
    z/OS publications will be updated:
