Component : ESP WORKLOAD AUTOMATION

Resolution

This is working as designed. 

The ESP application manager resets the JOBSTATS record flag for jobs that are force-completed, regardless of the job elapsed time (EXECQT). 

In other words, if the job ran, then was forced to complete, the job statistics would not be collected. 

This behavior was introduced in 2007.   If job statistic is collected for force-completed job, the average runtime will not be calculated correctly.

Job statistics is reported only for jobs that completed normally.  Abended jobs are skipped for job stats reporting.
