ESP Workload Automation

ESP V11R4,,, some one who use abandon submission, does it work? could you give an example?

this is the application which does not work:

APPL PPSU2D -
JOB_ANCESTOR_WAIT(LAST)
JCLLIB JCLPBC
RESOLVE ESPSAD12
RESOURCE (1,BC12_D%ESPSYEAR%ESPSMM%ESPSDD)
TAG 'BC12_D%ESPSYEAR%ESPSMM%ESPSDD'
ABANDONH='%ESPAHH%ESPAMN'
ABANDONDTA='%ESPAYEAR%ESPAMM%ESPADD'
ABANDONDTS='%ESPSYEAR%ESPSMM%ESPSDD'
IF %ABANDONDTS < %ABANDONDTA THEN DO
IF %ABANDONH > '1435' THEN DO
EXIT
ENDDO
ENDDO

DTTA =''
DTTS='%ESPSYEAR%ESPSMM%ESPSDD%ESPSTIME'
ABANDON_TIME =''
CURR_TIME =''

JOB JP1IW070.T1SUIWD3 TASK
SUBAPPL SPSUIWD3
GENTIME GTFIN 14:30 %ESPSDATE PLUS 1 DAYS
ABANDON_TIME='%GTFINYEAR%GTFINMM%GTFINDD%GTFINHH%GTFINMN'
CURR_TIME ='%ESPSYEAR%ESPSMM%ESPSDD%ESPAHH%ESPAMN'
IF %CURR_TIME > %ABANDON_TIME THEN DO
EXIT
ENDDO
RUN WORKDAY LESS 1 DAYS
RELEASE ADD(JP1IW070.01SUIWD3)
ENDJOB

JOB JP1IW070.01SUIWD3

We don't generally use variables for these, so for some simpler examples:

ABANDON SUBMISSION 17:00

ABANDON SUBMISSION 06:00 TOMORROW

Hope this helps!

ESPA variables are generated when the application was created, and generally they are NOT related to the current date/time when the job is readied.

Also the ABANDON statement is processed when the application was created, so variables on the statements will be replaced at application generation time. And ABANDON statement can only be put on JOB level.

From the ESP Proc you provided, I think you can use following ABANDON for TASK JP1IW070.T1SUIWD3:

JOB JP1IW070.T1SUIWD3 TASK 
SUBAPPL SPSUIWD3 

ABANDON SUBMISSION 14:30 TOMORROW
RUN WORKDAY LESS 1 DAYS 
RELEASE ADD(JP1IW070.01SUIWD3) 
ENDJOB 

Hope this helps,

Hi Jorge,

Do you have any more concerns?

Thank you for your feedback,

Lucy

hi Jonathan and Lucy,

I appreciate your response,,, but i found something else,,, the "abandon" parameter does not work with a HELD_MANUAL job,,, any suggest??

Hi Jorge,

You are right, the HELD_MANUAL JOB should be submitted outside of ESP, therefore ESP won't be able to abandon its submission. Maybe you can set up a LINK Process to issue MVS command to cancel it.

Same applies to MANUAL or EXTERNAL job, as ESP won't submit for those job types. You can use its successor job and/or home job.

Hope this helps,

Lucy

I would think there would be a better way to coordinate this process. 

The problem with forcing it complete at a specific time is that the job can't have started. If it just started running then you don't want to force it complete. Checking whether it is running before force completing makes the process complex....
