Autosys Job Exit code issue

[vinothini G]

Hi Team,

Greetings..!

Help is appreciated here..!

I have an mainframe batch job runs in Heirloom EBP(we use script files to set the Return code of job as 0 to 7 as success and 8 as failure) not in Z/OS.I am facing an issue of below..
I have a job "Job A" throwed an false alert of Exit code "02" in Autosys, though the job ran with RC(return code) 0 in EBP.

please let me know any issue from Autosys scheduling perspective?

Thanks,
Vinothini

Hi Vinothini,

I am assuming that you are running a command job calling the script you mention.  Autosys will return the exit code from the script, not from what the script calls.  Is the problem that the exit code of 2 is showing as a failure or that you are expecting a return code of 0?

If it is getting a failure for the eit code of two just update your job to use either max_success or success_codes to have it return a success.

If the problem is the unexpected exit code, I would suggest working with the application team and see if the logs contain any information on why a 2 was returned.

Regards,

Mike

Thanks Michael for reply..

I got answer for my question..Thanks again..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have also a another question which I experience in using Autosys to run batch jobs using scripts.
Autosys captured Exit code as "0"
But Job actually ends with "CC 8"
I verified autosys scheduling JIL sheet, which looks good to me..
But my question is why Autosys captured "0" and made success instead of abend/alert??? 
Have attached screenshot for reference..
Please share your thoughts..!

Thanks,

Hi,

Autosys captures the exit code of the script.  The messages you show are z/OS messages, but is the script setting a return code based on those messages?  you would need to check the script on how it is setting the exit code.  A quick test would be if you run the script from a shel session and then immediately run the command 'echo $?' to see what exit code is being returned.  That will be the exit code that autosys is picking up.
