Hi, I'm new to CA7 and sorry if this question has been asked before. We are running CA-7 running on a z/OS 2.3 and I'm trying to understand how SSCAN works. It is very confusing.
Every Saturday evening at 20:30 our automation took issues the command SSCAN,SPAN=16 and as a result at 21:00 the schedule scan starts and completes. We then at around 21:15 begin the shutdown of the system follow by a re-ipl. Works beautifully.
This past weekend was a bit different, automation issued the SSCAN,SPAN=16 command at 20:30 as it normally does. The wake up scan time shows 0900. All good up to this point.
At 20:49 the shutdown of CA7 was started and the system brought down/ All of this occurred before the schedule scan start time of 21:00.

After the IPL was completed no jobs were being run, I'm assuming because the schedule scan at 2100 did not occur.
We manually entered the command SSCAN,SPAN=16 and it was not until 0219 that jobs start coming in. What made the schedule start time 0219 ? Can you not force the jobs to start coming in immediately ?
