Activating a Job Network Manually

The Entire Operations Monitor will activate job networks automatically according to their defined schedules. However, it is also possible to activate a network manually from the Network Maintenance screen.

When a network is activated, all jobs within the network, except recovery jobs, are activated.

There are several situations in which you may wish to activate a job network manually (press ENTER to activate the network):

• When no schedule has been defined for the network;

• To start the same network several times (with different run numbers);

• When the network is not scheduled for the current date;

• To reactivate a network.

To activate a network manually

1. Type R (Activate) in the line command field of the selected network, and press ENTER.

2. A Network Activation window similar to the example below opens:

   Press ENTER when you are finished.

   If symbol prompting has been defined for the network, a Symbol Prompting for Table screen appears with a table of symbols used during dynamic JCL generation.

   If required, change the symbols and symbol values. For further explanations, see Symbol Prompting during Network or Job Activation in the section Symbol Table and Symbol Maintenance.

4. Press PF5 (Accpt) when you are finished.

   If the activation is successful, the activated network gets a new run number as returned in a message.
