Answer / chandrakant

Hi ,

cond=even means if previous steps are terminated abnormally
that time also this step should be executed . it does not
mean to execute the steps in any specific order( even 2,4,6)

Answer / sathish kumar

In job card give restart=stepname2
from stepname3 to consecutive ODD steps give the below
condition
cond=(4095,GE)
This will execute the steps stepname2,4,6,8.... and
bypasses the odd steps.

Answer / alla srikanth

small change*** no need to mention cond=EVEN on on job
statement

specify restart=step2 on job statement i.e,
execution begings at step no 2 and every step from step2
onwards executed.

for odd number jobsteps specify cond=(o,le)(condition is
ture for all return codes hence steps with this cond code is
bypassed)

hence begin at step2 and odd no steps are bypassed i.e even
steps are executed

Answer / rekha

In JOB card give Restart=(name of the second step).
After that for every ODD numbered step give the cond as
COND=(0,GE) because the Condition Code will starts from 0
onwards,so every odd step will be skiped and only the even
steps will be executed.
