Start Job
This section enables the user to start, schedule, and manage jobs. While a job is selected, the Job name, Job filename, Job type, and Job application is displayed respective to the category of the job that is selected.
Start Job
The Start Job tab displays a list of available jobs to be started. Information about jobs are divided in the following columns:
- Job name: The name of the job.
- Type: The type of job, such as 'Script' or 'Batch'.
- Application: The application to which the job belongs.
- Queue: The queue to which the job belongs.
- Request file: Enter the filename of an Accept File to provide automatic input to job requests.
To start a job, select a job from the list and select the 
(start job)
button. A dialog displaying
the message "Started job" followed by the job's name briefly appears if a job was started successfully.
Restarting Scripts
When starting a Script-type job, you can specify a restart step to resume execution from a specific point in the script. This is useful when a script has partially completed and you want to continue from where it stopped, rather than restarting from the beginning.
To restart a script from a specific step:
- Select a Script-type job from the job list.
- Click the
(start job) button.
- In the Restart Step field, enter the step name using the syntax:
<JobStepName>.ProcStep - For jobs with steps that have no step name, use the syntax:
.ProcStep
When a restart step is specified, the script receives the --restartat parameter with the step name you
entered. The script uses restart log files stored in the ../<AMT_Root>/Extracts/RestartLog folder
to determine which operations have already completed.
For more information about configuring scripts for restart and the restart log file format, see Configuring a JCL Script for Restart.
Note: The restart functionality is only available for Script-type jobs. Restart log files are uniquely identified by the script name and Batch ID.

- Application: Select an application to only display jobs part of that application.
