How to restart a failed job in IZWS

1) Type row command “J” to edit the JS JCL for the failed job, and prepare your restart JCL.

2) Make necessary corrections. Do not remove any job steps if your job uses Zebb, as you will
cause issues due to missing steps. Note: If you do not have RACF access to JSO.applid for the
application, you will fail with an authorization error when you PF3 to save.

3) If your job uses Zebb, verify Zebb to ensure restart step is as desired. Use ZBEDIT for short path,
or TSO ZB for long version.

a. ZBEDIT - Short path to Zebb (Currently not working due to OPC Directives in JCL –
reported to ASG)

b. TSO ZB – Long path to Zebb


Select Option 1 for Job Functions

Select Option 5 for Restart Information

4) Verify Zebb restart point. If no modifications are required, leave as-is. Otherwise, type “EDIT”
to place record in edit mode. Set restart point as required and “SAVE” selection. If you plan to
rerun from the first step, issue “PROD” to reset Zebb.

Press PF3 three times to return to your JCL. PF3 again to return to Current Plan.

5) Enter row command “SJR” to perform Simple Job Restart. Note: You must have RACF access to
CPO.applid for the application, otherwise you cannot use this command.

6) Select Y and <enter> to submit the restart job. User field and Reason for restart are optional
and are for reporting purposes only.
7) The job is resubmitted

8) With any luck, your restart was successful.
