Logical conditions are defined on the master database when linking jobs within a job network. When a job network is activated and running, Entire Operations sets logical conditions automatically (active conditions) according to the occurrence of system events. Alternatively, you can set active conditions manually. You can display and maintain active conditions.

An active condition reflects the current value of the condition for a given job network activation. It can have the value true (the condition exists) or false (the condition does not exist). The run number assigned to the job network at activation is automatically passed to the active conditions defined for the jobs in the network. An active condition is uniquely identified by owner, network, run number and condition name.

Notes:

1. You can define new input conditions for an active job, or delete or modify existing conditions. Any changes to active conditions for active jobs are valid for the current job run only.
2. You can maintain active input conditions in the same way as described for master input conditions in Defining and Managing Job Conditions in the section Job Maintenance.

• Columns and Fields: Active Conditions

• Commands: Active Conditions

Columns and Fields: Active Conditions

The following table explains the columns of the Active Conditions screen. The names of the columns correspond to the names of the fields available when adding or viewing an active condition in the Condition Addition/Modification window, unless indicated otherwise in the Field column of the following table.

Column	Field	Description
Cmd	n/a	One-character line command input field. For possible line commands, see Commands: Active Conditions.
Owner	n/a	Owner name for the condition. For possible selection criteria, see Specifying Filter Criteria.
Network	Network	Network name. For possible selection criteria, see Specifying Filter Criteria.
Condition	Condition	Active condition name as defined on the master database. For possible selection criteria, see Specifying Filter Criteria. Note: If the condition name has the prefix (C), the active condition is being used for JCL checking only. When adding or modifying a condition: Pay attention to the restrictions for condition names described in the section Job Maintenance. For global active conditions, the same applies as described in Global Conditions (Job Maintenance).
Date Time	Date / Time	Date and time when this condition was set. The date and time serve as search criteria for Entire Operations if no run number is specified. You can enter a start date and time for the list of active conditions. See also Date and Time Formats.
Run	Run Number	Run number of the job which sets this condition, or the value abs (absolute) or void. void is displayed if a run number is not relevant for a job run. For information on abs, see ABS in Possible References for Input Conditions. You can enter a particular run number to list the conditions for this run only.
Status	Status	Status of the condition. Possible values:
		0	Free. Can be used by any job.
		1	In use. Can be used by jobs which do not require exclusive usage.
		2	Exclusive. Currently in use by a job; not usable by other jobs.
		3	Destructive. Currently in use by a job; not usable by other jobs. The condition will be deleted after job termination.
n/a (shown in Condition column)	Special Type	Usage of the condition. Possible input values for input fields:
