Hi Dan,The most common way to monitor STC is thru ACTIVE and REEXEC. See the example below:https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-mainframe-software/automation/ca-workload-automation-esp-edition/12-0/reference/statements/reexec-statement-re-execute-procedures.htmlExample: Using REEXEC with the ACTIVE function to check started task statusIn the following example:If CICS is active, ESP sends a message to console id 01 and re-executes the procedure in five minutes.If CICS is not active, ESP submits the CICSBKUP from PROD.JCL.CNTL.IF ACTIVE('CICS') THEN DO SEND 'CICS IS DUE TO COME DOWN' CN(01) REEXEC IN(5)ENDDOELSE SUBMIT 'PROD.JCL.CNTL(CICSBKUP)'Hope this helps,Lucy
