Hi All
I have a Job which creates and catalogs a dataset in STEP 10 which is eventually deleted in the last step (STEP 50) of the job if the job runs with RC=0, else the datset is retained which is further used to trigger the same job once again using CA-7.

My doubt here is will the CA-7 scheduler trigger the job just after STEP 10 because it is this step that creates and catalogs the dataset?

Another doubt is that my shop uses SMS so even after STEP 50 delete step will the catalog info still be present in the catalog and will it cause the CA-7 to schedule the job accidently?

My assumption is that the CA-7 will only schedule if the dataset is physically present and it happens only after the job is completely run but i would like some expert confirmation.

Rajeshkoratti,

I am not an expert in CA7. But, why don't you use the Auto Restart Facility available in CA7 instead of using Dataset Trigger to restart the job incase of an Abend / Non-zero RC.

Thanks,
Phantom

rajeshkoratti,

if your shop using UCC11 procedure before the start of the job, then it will automatically delete all the datasets with disp=(new,catlg,delete).

If your intention is to trigger the same job incase of return code other than zero, use that return code to trigger the job.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
