Job 'LOCKED IN LOAD' must run in CA 7

• CA 7 Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

Temporary emergency procedure to allow a job that is 'LOCKED IN LOAD' status due to database issues to successfully LOAD so it can be brought into CA 7 to run.

Resolution

When a job becomes "LOCKED IN LOAD STATUS", a successful LOAD must be done for this job to be submitted by CA 7. Do a LOADH on the job. Edit the QJCL and change the job's JCL to be only an execution of IEFBR14. Release the HOLD requirement on the job and allow it to run and flush from the CA 7 queues.  Check the browse data set to be sure you get the LOAD SUCCESSFUL message.

This is only a temporary, emergency procedure. When you are able you will need to resize the database (or correct whatever the initial problem was) and then do a LOAD on the job with the "normal" JCL.
