Avoiding corruption of the current plan backup

If an error occurs in the current plan while HCL Workload Automation for Z is running and is not detected by HCL Workload Automation for Z, it is strongly recommended that you cancel the controller address space instead of stopping it as is normally done. This prevents copying a logical error from the active current plan to the alternate current-plan data set during the backup process. When HCL Workload Automation for Z is restarted, the active current plan will be re-created from the alternate current plan. This will remove any errors in the active current plan.

If HCL Workload Automation for Z recognizes that the active current plan is damaged or is no longer accessible, a recovery of the active current plan is performed automatically (for details, see Current-plan recovery processing).
