Recovery of operations when a workstation becomes inactive

In the event of a system failure, the computer workstation representing that system can be automatically set to inactive if XCF is available. If XCF is not available, you can manually set the workstation to inactive using the panels. See Specifying workstation destinations. Operations that have not yet started on an inactive workstation can be rerouted to an alternate workstation. See Redirecting work to alternate workstations for more information about redirecting work to alternate workstations.

The status HCL Workload Automation for Z assigns to operations that were started when the workstation became inactive is decided by the WSFAILURE and WSOFFLINE keywords of the JTOPTS statement. If you decide to mark these operations as ended-in-error, they are given an error code of OSxx or OFxx (where xx is the status and extended status of the operation).

These operations are handled the same way as other operations that have ended in error. If a RECOVER statement has been defined to cover the situation, as defined by the job code and step code, it is invoked in the same way as for other operation failures.
