+RERUN

The +RERUN parameter specifies what BMC AMI Utilities do on a restart attempt.

This parameter is only used when the JCL EXEC parameter is RESTART. It is ignored when using NORESTART or QUICKEXIT on the JCL EXEC statement.

A zero value will not affect restart logic. A value less than 0 instructs BMC AMI Utilities to perform a QUICKEXIT on the nth restart attempt. A value greater than zero tells BMC AMI Utilities to perform a NORESTART on the nth restart attempt.

0

(default) Tells BMC AMI Utilities to continue to apply normal restart logic on all subsequent restart attempts.

-integer

This is a value from -1 through -32767. On the (absolute value of) -n attempts, BMC AMI Utilities internally change the RESTART parameter to a QUICKEXIT parameter and issue a message to that effect. It then performs the QUICKEXIT processing.

integer

This is a value from 1 through 32767. On the nth restart attempt, BMC AMI Utilities internally change the RESTART parameter into a NORESTART parameter. The products issue a message and then perform the NORESTART processing. There are certain cases in which BMC AMI Utilities are unable to change to NORESTART. For example, a previous reorganization failed and you must recover the original object before any processing can occur. In this case, the products issue a message indicating that a QUICKEXIT processing was taken.

Important

Do not use a plus sign to denote a positive value.

Example
+RERUN(-5)

If you specify the RESTART parameter, the job attempts five restarts and then changes the parameter to a QUICKEXIT and finishes processing.
