Hello Om,
RESTRICT_FORCE_STARTJOB is an WAAE instance-level setting/variable that tells the Scheduler to restrict running multiple instances of a job while the job is in STARTING, RUNNING, WAIT_REPLY (i5/OS) or SUSPENDED statuses. It affects jobs and boxes alike.
Could you please clarify how you added this variable in a cmd job? Did you use the envvars attribute? If yes, then that is not how this variable is to be set.
If you'd want RESTRICT_FORCE_STARTJOB to be set, then append the following line to either the $AUTOUSER/autosys.sh.`hostname` profile file or to the /etc/init.d/waae_sched.$AUTOSERV script, and restart the Scheduler service (unicycle waae_sched.$AUTOSERV).
RESTRICT_FORCE_STARTJOB=1; export RESTRICT_FORCE_STARTJOB
I hope it helps.
Cheers,
Chandru
