  • Apparatus, system, and method for managing z/OS batch jobs with prerequisites
    Patent number: 8572616
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for managing computer jobs with prerequisite jobs in a main frame computing system. A determination module is included that determines a job grouping of jobs for processing by a computer with a mainframe operating system. A grouping module is included to generate generating a job grouping structure associated with the job grouping. The job grouping structure comprises one or more prerequisite jobs and a dependent job that depends on successful completion of each prerequisite job associated with the dependent job. A management module is included to submit the jobs in the job grouping structure to the computer for processing.
