Adding Output Condition Definitions

You can define output conditions for an event or a job.

This document covers the following topics:

Fields and Columns: Output Conditions

Field Descriptions: Output Conditions

Field Description
Condition  Condition name. Symbol replacement is possible. The submission escape character is to be used.
  A condition that can be used across networks is called a global condition. If you want to add or modify a global condition:

  • The prefix is the plus sign (+).

  • A global condition is assigned to the SYSDBA owner and network.

Reference  An output condition can be set with different references (usually the current network run number). Possible values:
RUN  Current run number of the job network is assigned. This is the default.
ABS  Absolute condition. Exists only once, because it is independent of run numbers.
RCM Sets an active condition with owner, network, run number of calling network and appends multiple suffixes.

RCM can be used to determine that the conditions defined for a predecessor job apply to all jobs that reference this predecessor in multiple activated subnetworks. In this case, the input condition of the corresponding successor job must be referenced with RCA: see RCA in the section Possible References for Input Conditions.
The reference is evaluated and set when the active condition is created by the Monitor according to the End-of-Job definition.
Run  Run number of job to which this condition is to apply when modifying condition for an active job. Default is a blank character.
State  Determines whether the defined output conditions must be met if the associated event occurs. Possible selection options:
Set The specified conditions must be met.

This is the default.
Reset The specified conditions are ignored.

You can define up to 50 output conditions for any one event at the job step level, or at the job level according to All checks ok and Any checks not ok.

Column Headings: Output Conditions

Column Description
State  A condition can be set (to TRUE) or reset (to FALSE) on the occurrence of an event.
Condition Name  User-defined name for condition. Use this name if you wish to define this output condition as an input condition for another job.
Reference  Notation used to distinguish between the same condition in different job runs. Use this reference date if you wish to define this output condition as input condition for another job. If left blank, the current run is assumed.
Run  Run number of job to which this condition applies when modifying condition for an active job.
