Issue/Introduction

Getting message 'Waiting for Resources' using the NOTWITH Statement

Resolution

If using the NOTWITH dependencies between two ESP jobs, as in the example below:

    JOB DUMY002 
    RUN WEEKDAYS 
    NOTWITH DUMY004 
    ENDJOB 
    JOB DUMY004 
    RUN WEEKDAYS 
    NOTWITH DUMY002 
    ENDJOB 

and CSF status display:

  ESP Consolidated Status: View 1     ------------     Row 1 of 2, Col 1 
  COMMAND ===>                                            SCR ===> CSR 
      Job  Name  Jobqual  Subappl  Appl  AGen  Status                 Job
  ___ DUMY002                      TESTESP 50 Waiting for Resources 
  ___ DUMY004                      TESTESP 50 Waiting for Resources 

then most likely the RESOURCE MANAGER is inactive on your system. 

When ESP Resources are defined, the system topology must be specified.
