CA7 COMMANDS

CA7 Commands used frequently:

1. lq ==> list all the jobs in the queue.

if you need more specific info, ie list only the jobs u need, say eg: GTB

lq,job=gtb*
By giving this you can know whether the job is the ready queue or is it waiting for any
resource or like that

LQ

2. xqm,job=gtb*

list all job which came in the queue.

GTBASEND 2 . . . .
GTBASINI . . . . . H
GTBITEND . . . 1 .

in this the job GTBASINI is in hold. if you want to release it , put " r" in the left most
side of the job.

3. To restart the job, "f" in the left most side and then use the appropriate option.

4. To cancel the job, enter "c" on the left most side.

3. ljob,job=g3zarip,list=all
It will give information about which job is triggering this job , which jobs will be triggered by
this and what are dependencies.

It will give whole flow of jobs taking job name mentioned above at top of the hierarchy.

5. XQ,JOB=JOBNAME
It will display job if that job is went in queue, that is going to run once it’s dependency is
finished.
6. RUN,JOB=JOBNAME
It is going to run job independently.

 CA7 COMMANDS

7.RUNH,JOB=JOBNMAE

It will put job in queue with hold so you can do jcl edit ie u can give file override etc before
running that.

8.DEMAND,JOB=JOBNAME
It’s same as RUN except it also initiate the jobs which are being triggered by this.

9.DEMANDH,JOB=JOBNAME
It is same as DEMAND except it put the job in queue with hold so that you can do jlc edit ,
file overide etc.

10.LJCL,JOB=JOBNAME
It will display the jcl of that job.

How to put hold on job

There are two ways to put a hold on the Job in CA-7. One is through the "JOB" command
and the other is through the "JOBCONN" command.
It is always preferable to put a hold through the "JOBCONN" command as we can add some
information as to why the job is on hold and whom should be contacted before releasing the
hold.

Method I:

Type "Job" on CA7.

Type the job for which the hold needs to be put.
Put a "Y" on the field "Hold".

 CA7 COMMANDS
Method II:

Type "JOBCONN,USR" in the command line in CA7.

Type "List" in function and the "JOB name" in "PRED FOR JOB" field. This will list all the
jobconn holds that are active for this job.

Type "UPD" in function and the "JOB name" in "PRED FOR JOB" field. Then type "A" in
"OPT" and the comments indicating the reason for the hold in the field "*--- MEMO-FORM
USER PREDECESSOR ---* ".

What to do when u need to run job from override ……..

If the requirement is to run a job from the override just once then put a "Y" in the field "USE-
OVRD-LIB".
By doing this CA7 does the following:

• Picks up the JCL from the override library for the next run only.
• Resets the value of the field "USE-OVRD-LIB" to a "N".
• Deletes the JCL from the override library.

This way we can just make the change once and forget about it (we don't need to reset the
job to run from normal after the first run).

The Login Screen – USAGE of the UID:

The UID resource is required to perform any DEMAND , CANCEL etc. within CA7. CA7 will
allow you login if you do not put this in, but you will not be able to run any jobs.

To Customise CA-7 For Your Ease

The use of the PF1 and PF2 keys will be described later on in the guide.
Customise the PF4 key as follows
/PF04,MSG=(LQ,SYS=GEMSXPR9)
This will define the PF4 key to show the list of jobs currently queued in all of the queues. The
difference between this and the PF2 key is that this will show jobs from out schedule only,
making it easier to monitor. Once this is done, this can be saved into the profile using
/PROF,KEYS=SAVE
The UID Resource can be permanently embedded into your respective profiles as follows:
/PROF,R=CA70215
Once this is executed you can see your respective profiles by typing
Version: 1.0, 24 September, 2010 Page 7/8

 CA7 COMMANDS
/PROF
The following display will show when this is done.

CA7 queues
Ca7 has 3 queues.
REQ = this is the request queue. Any job waiting to be run will be in the request queue. A job
will enter the request queue once the job that triggers it completes normally. It will wait in this
queue until all requirements for it to run are satisfied. This queue can be viewed using the
PF1 function key.
RDY = This is the ready queue. All job that have been submitted to JES will enter this queue.
This queue can be viewed using <shift><PF1>. If a job returns with a JCL error in the job
card, it will remain in this queue.
ACT = All jobs that start execution will enter this queue.
PF2 will display jobs in all the queues. PF4 is the customised version of this queue as
described before.
