A requester device is a workstation from which a user can log on
to a domain and use network resources. The Device Recovery Action (DEVRCYACN)
job attribute specifies what action to take when an I/O error occurs for a
job’s requester device.
The
DEVRCYACN attribute has the following options:
- *SYSVAL
- This is the default. It points to the Action to take when a device error
occurs on the workstation (QDEVRCYACN) system value . The system value will
support all of the values that the job attribute supports (except *SYSVAL).
- *MSG
- Signals the I/O error message and lets the application program perform
error recovery. This is NOT the recommended setting.
- *DSCMSG
- Disconnect the job. This is the shipped default. Upon connecting again,
a new error message signals the user’s application program indicating the
device was lost and recovered since the I/O, and the contents of the display
need to be shown again.
- *DSCENDRQS
- Disconnect the job. Upon connecting again, an end request function is
performed to return control of the job to the last request level.
- *ENDJOB
- End the job. A job log might be produced for the job. A message is sent
to the job log and to the QHST log indicating the job ended because of the
device error.
- *ENDJOBNOLIST
- End the job. No job log is produced. A message is sent to the QHST log
indicating the job ended because of the device error.
Note: If *DSCENDRQS, *ENDJOB,
or *ENDJOBNOLIST is specified for DEVRCYACN,
the recovery action takes effect when the error occurs on the device. If one
of the other values is specified, the recovery action takes place at the next
I/O to the device with the error.
