Setting the status explicitly

To set the status explicitly, enter the row command N-x, where x is the status you want set for the operation. You might want to do this to immediately set the status of an operation to complete, or to report an operation as interrupted or as ended-in-error. Sometimes HCL Workload Automation for Z requests more information when you set the status; for example, it might request the duration of the operation, or the error code. When HCL Workload Automation for Z requests more information, it displays a panel where you should enter the information.
Notes:
  1. Setting the operation status to S (started) for operations on computer workstations does not cause the job or started task that is associated with the operation to be submitted. First establish why the operation is not started. When you have done this, you can remove the cause of the delay so that HCL Workload Automation for Z can run the work normally. See Diagnosing delays.
  2. Setting a WTO operation defined to a general workstation to started does not cause a WTO message to be issued.
  3. Setting the status of a started operation to E (error), or to any other status, does not cancel the job.
  4. Setting the status of an operation to C (completed) allows successor operations to start (other dependencies permitting), even though the job might still be executing.
