Auto Edit Variable for Abend Count
Posted: 24 Jul 2015 2:12
Hello all. I have been searching and have not been able to come up with much so I hope someone here will be able to help out.
We have some jobs in Control-M in which the customer has stated that it can be rerun once. If it fails again, we are to force it complete and send an email advising that such action was taken. I know that within the job, on the Steps tab, you can set the job to send out and email, force itself complete, and that you can use various variables there such as %%JOBNAME, %%COMPSTAT, etc. My question is this, is there a way, from that tab, to use some kind of variable to count how many times the job has abended? I want to be able to count the number of abends, if it fails that second time, then automatically send out the email and force itself complete. Of course, if it fails the first time, just set it to rerun automatically.
I know how to do everything except count the number of times a job has abened and act on it. If anyone could help me out with that I would greatly appreciate it.
