Control-M cyclic job keeps running even after failure

There are 2 cyclic jobs A and B such that A is predecessor to B and A runs after every 2 minutes from end while B runs after every 1 minute from end. Problem is job B keeps on re running and failing even after one failure. I thought on adding 'ON STATEMENT * CODE NOTOK DO STOP CYCLIC ' in steps of job B.

Will this work? If not, what could be the workaround?

Solution

  • CODE = NOTOK is possibly an issue.

    ON/DO using the STATEMENT/CODE combination is usually something like -

    ON
STATEMENT = *
CODE = *your literal error string in here*

DO
STOP CYCLIC

    e.g. -

    ON
STATEMENT = *
CODE = *requested file not file found*

DO
STOP CYCLIC

    the CODE = field should be surrounded by asterisks.
