How to automate force complete jobs in dSeries

Products

• ESP dSeries Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

dSeries has several options for users to force complete a job.  The execCommand is a JavaScript feature that can be used in a JavaScript to force complete or change states of an application or a job.  Another option is to use ESPMgr utility in the agent to update or complete a job.

Environment

Workload Automation Agent: 12.0 or above

ESP dSereis / Workload Automation DE: 12.3 or above

Resolution

The following command will list all active applications with the date.  You can then sort the output by dates and then force complete them via JavaScript or by ESPMgr:

cli dehostname 7500 user <password> 'listapplication APPLICATION("*") state("active")'

An example of an ESPMgr Job in DE (ESPMgr is in the agent directory):

Command: /opt/CA/WA_Agent/ESPMgr      
Arguments to pass: "JOB1234/MYAPPL.9/MAIN ACTION COMPLETE Reason("Some REASON")"

Extract on application and generations (Linux only):

cli dehostname 7500 user <password> 'listapplication APPLICATION("*") state("active")' | grep -v -e ":" -e '^$'

The above can be scripted as well, where set the job name and 'application.gen' as variable from the LISTAPPLICATION output and pass it to ESPMgr command.  E.g of ESPMgr as a command:

/opt/CA/WA_Agent/ESPMgr "JOB1234/MYAPPL.9/MAIN ACTION COMPLETE Reason("Some REASON")"
