HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Passing job standard output from one job to another in the same job stream instance

You can export the job standard output from a dynamic job to another in the same job stream instance.

To add a job standard output within another job definition, that it is resolved locally on the agent at runtime, use the following syntax:

${job:<JOB_NAME>.stdlist}

where <JOB_NAME> is the name value or the alias name value of the job from which you are exporting the job standard output.

Example

The following example demonstrates how variables can be passed from job that run on HCL Workload Automation agent for z/OS to another executable job that run in the same job stream instance. The WIN92MAS#JS_PROP job stream contains ZSPD_ZOS1274#DDRIVEN_JOB used with alias JOBA and NC112019#JOBD jobs. The NC112019#JOBD executable job references the JOBA standard output. The database definitions:
