HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Crit format

CPU
The workstation on which the job runs.
Schedule
The name of the job stream.
SchedTime
The time and date when the job was scheduled to run in the plan.
Job
The name of the job. The following notation might precede a job name:
>> rerun as
A job that was rerun with the rerun command, or as a result of automatic recovery.
>> rerun rerun_number of rerun_total
A job that is part of a rerun sequence and its position within the sequence
>> repeated as
The second and subsequent runs of an every job.
State
The state of the job or job stream. See “Standard Format” for information about state.
Pr
The priority of the job stream or job. A plus sign (+) preceding the priority means the job has been launched.
(Est)Start
The start time of the job stream or job. Parentheses indicate an estimate of the start time. If the start time is more than 24 hours in the past or future, the date is listed instead of the time.
(Est)Elapse
The run time of the job stream or job. Parentheses indicate an estimate based on logged statistics.
CP
Indicates if the job is flagged as critical (C) and/or promoted (P).
CritStart
The latest time a job can start without impacting the deadlines of mission critical successors.
For example, the result of the following generic command:
%sj @#@;crit
is:
                                               (Est)  (Est)        Crit

Note that:
  • The C flag applies only to jobs defined as critical in their job stream definition. It is set at plan or submit time.
  • The P flag applies to both critical jobs and to their predecessors (which are jobs that are not defined as critical but might nonetheless impact the timely completion of a successor critical job). It is set at execution time if the job was promoted.
  • Both critical jobs and critical predecessors have a critical start time.

    The scheduler calculates the critical start time of a critical job by subtracting its estimated duration from its deadline. It calculates the critical start time of a critical predecessor by subtracting its estimated duration from the critical start time of its next successor. Within a critical network the scheduler calculates the critical start time of the critical job first and then works backwards along the chain of predecessors. These calculations are reiterated as many times as necessary until the critical job has run.
