How to restart a job from a step inside a proc using ESP Encore?

 

Environment

Release: ALL
Component: ESP Encore Workload Automation

Resolution

There are three methods to restart  JOB from a step inside a proc:

 1) The "RR" method. This method uses Encore to decide where to restart the job. In most cases this is the best method to use.

•     Type "RR" next to the failed job in the ESP/ISPF CSF (Consolidated Status Facility). Hit enter.
•     Put an "R" at the command line. Hit enter.
•     Read the "Restart Action Summary" panel to understand what step Encore is going to restart the job from. Encore may want to restart in a PROC step. Also read any other actions that Encore is going to perform.  In some cases data sets will be deleted.
•     Type "SUB" at the command line. Hit enter.
•     On the "Consolidated Status: Resubmit an Object" panel, hit enter.  
•     Encore will restart the job using the method described in the earlier panel.

2) The "RR" method overriding the step or PROC step to restart in. In some cases it is necessary to override where Encore thinks is should start the job.

•     Type "RR" next to the failed job in CSF. Hit enter.
•     Tab down to the left side of the STEP or PROC step to restart the job in. Type an "R" by the step.  Hit enter
•     Read the "Restart Action Summary" panel to understand what step Encore is going to restart the job in. Also read any other actions that Encore is going to perform. In some cases data sets will be deleted.
•     Type "SUB" at the command line.
•     Encore will restart the job using the method described in the earlier panel.

3) The "R" method.

•     Type "R" next to the failed job in CSF.
•     On the "Consolidated Status: Resubmit an Object" panel fill in the information below.  In this example STEP02 is the step and PSTEP03 is the procstep. The job number being restart is 48917. Restart 'Y ' means to use Encore to determine what data sets should be cleaned up, and other Encore functions.

    From Step ===> STEP02.PSTEP03
    To Step   ===>              
    Restart   ===> Y
