Automatically complete a task in application

Products

• ESP Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

Need to complete a task in application job stream rather than having it manually completed by operations staff.

Environment

Component: ESP Workload Automation

Release: All Releases

Resolution

To create a self-completing task rather than having operations staff manually complete it, you should add the SELFCOMPLETING operand to the TASK statement in your application definition.

A self-completing task is a workload object that automatically marks itself as complete without needing a tracking signal from an external job or manual intervention. These are typically used to perform automatic processing or trigger alerts at specific points in an application's lifecycle.

Example syntax:
JOB MYTASK TASK SELFCOMPLETING
RUN DAILY
RELEASE (JOBB, JOBC)
ENDJOB
