To setup and create an ARF to send a delayed routine message to the console follow the steps below:
1) Use ARF (Automated Recovery Facility) to create an ARFSET exception condition rule TYPE: LA which results when CA 7 initially prompts for a LATE job execution status condition in the LQ. No type-specific tests are defined for the LA exception.
2) Define a Response action in the ARFSET rule to take when a job is showing LATE for execution and send a message to the console.
3) Below is a screenshot example of an ARFSET name definition (called JOBLATE) to send a message to the console. TYPE: must be TYPE: LA and RESPONSES: AM,CM=C,M=&JOBNAME LATE LATE!!!
4) Add the ARFSET name to a job via the DB.1 JOB Definition panel as follows:
- In the Requirements section - ARFSET: Up to 8 alpha character name
- In the Messages section - PROMPTS: Y
==========================================================================================
Once the ARFSET name is created and defined to the Job if the Job is late for execution you should see it flagged as LATE in CA 7 LQ.
An alert message similar to the one below will show up in the CA 7 Log file and CA 7 Browse dataset.
SCNP-11 JOB JOBABTI1(0151) SYS=SYSA *** IS LATE ***
REQUIRED BY 22.291 AT 1745, MUST START BY 22.291 AT 1646
SCHID=010 PROSE#=00000000 ERQD=000 ENSAT=000 IRQD=000 INSAT=000
MCNT=001 FLAGS=34/0C/20/02/00/10/00
NOTE: An alternative to using ARF to route messages to a console is to configure and activate the Master Station Message Routing (MSMR) Table.
