NJE Support
> CA WA Restart Option’s Online Interfaces allow the specification of an NJE node name to retrieve JOB information from. The NJE jobs information can be displayed and may be altered to allow the submitting system to control the restart of NJE jobs in the same way that they control the restart of local jobs, thus eliminating the need to logon to the NJE system to setup a job for restart. This uses GTS to communicate between NJE systems.

October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Disaster Recovery Auto Setup
> CA WA Restart Option’s Step Initiation exit will
set the JOB for restart and maintain the restart
step so that in the event of a system failure
before JOB termination, a JOBs entry in the
database will contain the appropriate restart
step.
11
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Maintain Dynamically Allocated Datasets
> CA WA Restart Option will detect dynamically
allocated datasets and will add them to the
database. These datasets will be maintained just
as datasets that are allocated in the JCL.

Maintain Dynamically Allocated Datasets
13
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Flexible Restart Step Selection
> CA WA Restart Option will allow for multiple
individual steps or step ranges to be selected for
restart. Currently only a single range can be
specified. This will allow more flexibility in
selecting the portions of a job that will run and
will prevent the need to rerun the job multiple
times to process the steps required.
14
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Scheduling Product Condition Code Support
> A new module has been written that will allow a job to be set for restart by a scheduling package. Called with input of JOB name, and step number of the failed step, AUTO-SETUP will be performed for the job. A new RMS parameter will be specified that will deactivate CA WA Restart Option’s condition code processing (SCHCC=Y).
17
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Show Service Pack Number
> The service pack number will be available in the
“Initialization Complete” message as well as in
the main menu for the ISPF interface.
18
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Add Audit Capabilities
> The online interfaces and certain batch jobs will
include a built in audit for all changes made. A
new module is called to determine if “Audit” is
desired, and if desired, another new module is
called with “OLD” and “NEW” records to create
the new Audit Elements. We use Easytrieve to
report the changes and we give a sample job
(AL7ARP) in SAMPJCL to get you started.
Did I mention that SAMPJCL is now under SMP
control?

Allow Attributes for Purge and Report Files
> The Maintenance task will allow the SPACE
parameter in the definitions for the PURGE and
REPORT files and will not require the UNIT
parameter when SMS parameters are specified.
RPRTSPACE=(08000,(01000,00000))
RPRTUNIT=3390
RPRTSTOR=MORSTOR
PURGSPACE=(05550,(01000,00000))
PURGUNIT=3390
PURGSTOR=MORSTOR
Space parameters have the same syntax as the JCL SPACE
parameter21
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Remove WTOR at Shutdown
> A new SHUTDOWN command option (NOW) will
alleviate the normal “are you sure” shutdown
question, but will still prompt the operator in the
event that there are jobs currently using CA WA
Restart Option services. It must be issued from
the OS Console.
22
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Reduce Redundant Steps in Rerun
> A new database table has been created to keep
track of which steps depend on which other
steps for dataset creation and use and it will be
used to decide which steps will execute during a
Restart/Rerun.
Only temporary datasets are a factor
23
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Change U11CBM Allocation Method
> U11CBM (control block manager) uses a bit map
to represent control blocks and status and this
bit map is processed left to right so it quite often
allocates the “last one freed” first. We have
changed this to keep a pointer to the last control
block allocated byte and use this as a starting
point to allocate the next control block.
24
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Create JOBLOG When SUB=MSTR
> When CA WA Restart Option is brought up
before JES, there is no JOBLOG available for
problem determination. We will issue a “Request
JOB” SSI call to establish a JOB LOG after JES
initializes.
25
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Add Datacom Database Space Monitor
> We have created a Datacom space monitor,
added an option to specify the Datacom system
DBID if not the default of DBID=1000, and
added an option to specify a warning percentage
so that when an Area reaches the specified
percentage, we can issue a warning message.
U11D-8200-5 SSN=CALT DBID=0601 AREA=JHF AT
37% USED
U11D-8200-6 EXTENTS=01
DSN=APC.DEVJT.CHDB000.GA1.AD11.JHF601
U11D-8200-7 VOLUME=TSO79A FREE CYLINDERS=0090
26
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
High Availability Tasks and SUSPEND
>We have added a new parameter to our
database access macros (SUSPEND=NO)
that will cause DBAS to return a specific
return code in the event that DBAS is
SUSPENDed. This will prevent the JES exit
and the ISPF interface from “hanging” due to
DBAS being suspended.
27
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Remove ISPLINK Requirement for ISPF
> We required a step in the install to link ISPLINK
into CA WA Restart Option. We now LOAD
ISPLINK, save the address and use that address
to BASSM to ISPLINK. We have changed the
installation to not require the link of ISPLINK
and documented that ISPLINK must be link
listed.
28
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Add Subsystem Selection to ISPF
> We offer a new option on the main menu of the
ISPF interface to change subsystems. We
present a list of subsystems which have been
established and allow clients to choose one.
29
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Change RIMPARM SVC Behavior
> The RIMPARM will determine the SVC number
used. The SVC number specified in U11OPT will
be used as a default if it is not specified as a
RIMPARM.
PRODUCT(CA-11) INIT(L7B0INIT)
VERSION(L7B0) PARM(SSN=CAL7,SVC=211,UJV)

32
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Allow More Than One HSM Volume
> The HSMVOL parameter now allows more than
one volume to be specified. The same parameter
now accepts up to 8 volumes.
HSMVOL=(VOL001,VOL002,VOL003,…)
33
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Add XDC Support
> CA WA Restart Option now has the capability to
use XDC as a debugging tool. The original
estimate for this change was 67 modules and 19
macros.
34
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Add Subsystem Name to Nondeletable, Hilighted Messages
> We have extended the Nondeletable, Hilighted
messages to include the subsystem name of the
subsystem that issues the messages.
U11D-0450-1 VERIFY CA-11 DBAS SHUTDOWN (Y/N)
SSN=CAL7
35
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Step Level Backout
> U11PRE has been changed to allow dataset
maintenance for a single step.
Similar to “R” processing but dataset
maintenance may be limited to a single step.
Also accepts an ending step.
36
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Support the Use of Abender Programs
> We will treat steps that execute certain
programs as not restartable.
ABENDPGM=(IEFBR11,BLOWUP)
– Config File or RMS parameter
Ignored for Restart
Auto F for Production
37
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Do Not Propagate Condition Codes
> During a Restart, the condition codes for steps
that have executed prior to the restart step will
optionally not be propagated to the Step Control
Table.
38
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
RD = NR
> Steps that have the JCL parameter RD=Nx
specified on the EXEC statement, will be treated
as not restartable.
Treated the same way as CA11NR DD.
39
October 14, 2009 CA WA Restart Option r11 Copyright © 2009 CA
Health Checker
> CA WA Restart Option makes use of the IBM
Health Checker.
