    [REQUIRED]

    The unique identifier of the application associated with this batch job.

  • batchJobIdentifier (dict) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The unique identifier of the batch job.

    Note

    • fileBatchJobIdentifier (dict) –

      Specifies a file associated with a specific batch job.

      • fileName (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The file name for the batch job identifier.

      • folderPath (string) –

        The relative path to the file name for the batch job identifier.

    • restartBatchJobIdentifier (dict) –

      Specifies the required information for restart, including execution ID and jobsteprestartmarker.

      • executionId (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The executionId from the StartBatchJob response when the job ran for the first time.

      • jobStepRestartMarker (dict) – [REQUIRED]

        The restart step information for the most recent restart operation.

        • fromProcStep (string) –

          The procedure step name that a job was restarted from.

        • fromStep (string) – [REQUIRED]

      • scriptName (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The name of the script containing the batch job definition.

  • jobParams (dict) –

    The collection of batch job parameters. For details about limits for keys and values, see Coding variables in JCL.

    • (string) –

      See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/workload-automation/9.3.0?topic=zos-coding-variables-in-jcl to get details about limits for both keys and values: 8 for keys (variable names), 44 for values (variable values) In addition, keys will be only alphabetic characters and digits, without any space or special characters (dash, underscore, etc …)
