Maintaining Active Jobs and Networks

When Entire Operations activates a job or job network, the job or job network defined in the master database is copied to the active database and assigned a run number. Several copies of the same job or job network can be in the active database, each distinguished by their run numbers. All copies and run numbers are listed under the Active Run node of a Job Master or Network Active node.

Entire Operations allows extensive modification of job networks and jobs after activation. All current information pertaining to condition status, job status, active JCL and symbols is contained in and can be modified on the active database.

This section explains the maintenance functions you can perform on active jobs and networks.

For example, you can modify active copies of a job definition including associated logical conditions, resources and JCL. All modifications to active jobs take place on the active database and are valid for the current job run only, so that all original definitions on the master database remain unchanged.

Note:
Your user profile must contain the appropriate authorization to access active networks. See the Monitoring Functions permissions your administrator can set to control access.
