Products

• ESP Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

We need to backout the datasets created by one JOB after it completed successfully.

Environment

Release : All Releases

Component : ESP Workload Automation Restart Option EE

Resolution

The following JCL can be used to do the BACKOUT run for a successfully completed JOB:

//$$$$$$@   EXEC PGM=CYBRM000,PARM='FORCE YES'            
//STEPLIB   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=prefix.CD7YLOAD
//SYSIN     DD   DDNAME=ENCPARMS                          
//SYSPRINT  DD   SYSOUT=*                                 
//ENCPARMS  DD   *                                         
SUBSYS   subsys ESPGROUP(espgroup)                           
TYPE BACKOUT                                              
JOBNAME TEST    /*TEST is the JOB name*/                                      
JOBID JOB21386   /* this is the JES no*/                                         
/*      

Note:  replace prefix, subsys, espgroup with the proper values.

The following is shown in the job output:
