Hi, I have a strange behavior with a job:

[Anon Anon]

A job that was triggered by its triggering job entered the queue but started at step 080 when it was supposed to start at step 005. The previous executions were fine. The SYSOUT shows like CA-11 understood the job was suppose to start at step 080, as it was a restart. But the job didn’t abend since its last run.

Here goes some information I gathered:

I wonder how the job could be triggered and start from step 080 if it didn't abend at the previous execution.

Thanks,

Anyone up to the challenge of solving Marcio's question?

 

Thanks!

Looks like the job has failed with a JCL error which it might or might not have, so recheck your JCL.

If its a JCL error this could lead to CA-11 restarting at step 080 as steps 005 to 070 completed ok.

 

Maybe job is restarting at step 080 because it fails in step 080, check in JCL. If no luck check instructions for job in CA-11 and CA7.

 

Also looks like job was triggered late, there may have been contention with other jobs or tasks due to this.
