Other considerations for the parallel job manager
There are other considerations that help you understand how to optimally use the parallel job manager.
Transaction timeouts
You can keep the default value for the TransactionTimeOut property in the top-level job xJCL. You can alternatively adjust it depending on the transaction timeout of the subordinate job.
Job logs
You can view job logs for a subordinate job from the job management console. The PJM retrieves subordinate job logs for its logical job and aggregates them into its top-level job log.
Failover scenarios
If the top-level job and several subordinate jobs are in the restartable state, then restart only the top-level job. If you restart any of the subordinate jobs manually, then the top-level job does not process the logical transaction properly.
Disaster recovery
You can use the jobrecovery script when a primary site fails to allow a secondary site to take over.
