Can the dataset count for automatic dataset recognition be reduced based on actual dataset names?

Products

• Jobtrac

Issue/Introduction

The dataset count field only tells Jobtrac to  wait for a certain number of datasets.   There is no knitting with the actual dataset names.

Environment

Release : 11.0

Component : JOBTRAC

Resolution

The dataset count field (D, column 71) indicates the number of data sets that must be created or updated and then closed before the scheduled event can be submitted.  This value in the SCL  only tells Jobtrac to wait for a certain number of datasets. There is no knitting with the actual dataset names.  If a job depends on 2 datasets to be created  before it can be triggered, this is satisfied whether two unique datasets arrives or one dataset  by the same name arrives twice.    If actual names need to be considered a possible solution would be to create dummy jobs, each one depending on one of the datasets and making these dummy jobs predecessors of the actual job.
