ESP use of CCCHK when using a Model

[leonardannem]

Has anyone experienced this situation when using CCCHK? And if so, how did you get around it?  

 

I have an application coded as below. Jobs DXXXXX01 and DXXXXX03 both have a model defined, with a JOBFAIL event listed in the model definition.  When the below runs, and receives a CC 4 in the first job(DXxxxx01), the JOBFAIL event is executed from the model, even though that is not my intent.  A CC 4 is acceptable.  If I run this appl and the first job receives a CC 5, the JOBFAIL event is executed along with the NOTIFY FAILURE MAILBOX statement(which is the intent).

Hi Anne,

 

The support case you opened has been moved to our next level.

 

Will update the post here when the root cause is determined.

 

Thank you,

Hi Anne, 

This is a possible/temporary workaround. 

I am not sure what is being initiated by the JOBFAIL event VASTUGRP.NOTIFY_ABND defined in the model. 

 

It would be possible to change the NOTIFY MAILBOX to a NOTIFY ALERT and initiate the VASTUGRP.NOTIFY_ABND event. 

Inside the NOTIFY_ABND application do any notifications needed.

This method will obey the CCCHK statements and only trigger the application at the correct times. 

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Don,

  I tried that, and that appears to work.  Let me do some more testing.

 

Thanks.

Hi Don,

  I tried that, using the NOTIFY ALERT, and I'm still getting notified.  I get notified multiple ways actually.  Through the model and through my NOTIFY Alert.  I don't want to get notified by either of those methods, if the return code is 4 or less. 

 

Hi Lucy,

  Thanks for the update.

Hi Anne, 

Let me dig through the case.  This process works millions of  times per day I am not sure what is different here.

 

I will get back to you.
