Issue/Introduction

Error found in the Scheduler started task job log: 

CACM910E JOBFAIL  EVENT NOT BEING RECORDED--POTENTIAL RECOVERY PROBLEM

Cause

The JOBFAIL event is activated but not recorded by CA ENF.  

ENF job log shows: 

08.09.35 STC02738  CAS9214I - CA-ENF Command: EVENT(JOBFAIL,NOREC)  
    584             CAS9280I - Event(JOBFAIL ) Status(*Active*)  Norecord
    584             CAS9435I -                 DCM(CAS9DCM0)
    584             CAS9240I - EVENT    - Command complete

Recording means that ENF logs the events.  When Scheduler comes back up after an outage, it does Event Recovery which retrieves missing events from ENF.  Recoveries can be done only if the events were recorded.  

Resolution

- Set the JOBFAIL event to REC (ex: EVENT(JOBFAIL,REC)) in the ENFPARM member of the CA ENF startup job.  This takes effect when  ENF is started.

- If ENF cannot be restarted at this time, the event may be changed dynamically using console command /F ENF,EVENT(....), and requires that Scheduler be recycled. 

  To change the JOBFAIL event dynamically, do the following: 

1. Issue console command /F ENF,EVENT(JOBFAIL,REC)

    Expected results: 

CAS9214I - CA-ENF Command: EVENT(JOBFAIL,ACT)          
CAS9280I - Event(JOBFAIL ) Status(*Active*)  Norecord  
CAS9435I -                 DCM(CAS9DCM0)               
CAS9240I - EVENT    - Command complete                 
CAS9214I - CA-ENF Command: EVENT(JOBFAIL,REC)          
CAS9280I - Event(JOBFAIL ) Status(*Active*)  *Record*  
CAS9435I -                 DCM(CAS9DCM0)               
CAS9240I - EVENT    - Command complete   

2. Shutdown Scheduler: /F caschd,SHUTDOWN

3. Restart Scheduler.

4. Review the Scheduler STC log to confirm that error CACM910E is no longer issued
