Alert Processing to resubmit job after failure.

Products

• ESP Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

We need to have a setup in place when a Windows/Mainframe job fails it should get automatically resubmitted 5 times. If it fails for the 5th time it should send email to support team.

1st - 5th Instance of Failure --- Job should be restarted automatically

5th Instance of Failure --- Send email

Cause

Need automated resubmission of failed job.

Environment

Release : 11.4

Component : CA ESP WORKLOAD AUTOMATION

Resolution

Within the scope of a job you can use IF logic that will check the Submission number(ESPAPSUB#) of a job. If the first submission is less than or equal to 5, and the job
abends/fails, it will issue a NOTIFY firing an alert call RSUB. RSUB will trigger an event ESP.ALERT12. Event will invoke a procedure to resubmit the job up to 5 times.

If the submission number is greater than 5 it will use a different NOTIFY sending an email to a MAILBOX that has been setup as USER01. You can add an Alert here if you need to invoke a procedure to open a problem ticket.
