Type a utility identifier name or keep the current one. This value uniquely identifies the currently selected utility. When parallel execution is being used, the name is truncated to 9 characters and a 7 character unique identifier is added by the system. This resolved name can be no longer than 16 characters, and can consist of literal and symbolic strings.

Select to have the utility continue running if one of the steps (batch) or parallel executions (online) ends with an error (a return code of 8). If not selected, the utility stops after an error.

Select to have the optimizer choose the number of parallel tasks and the sequence within these tasks, or batch jobs and steps within batch jobs, so the overall processing time is minimized. The constraints specified below this checkbox are used as maximum values. If not selected, grouping is in the order objects were chosen, with the maximum number of objects in each group.

Specifies the number of objects to process at the same time in parallel online execution. This number is used as a maximum limit if optimization is selected. If 1 is specified, all objects will be processed sequentially in a single task.

Applies only to online execution. The maximum value is 99.

Specifies the number of concurrent batch jobs to create. This number is used as a maximum limit. If 1 is specified, all objects will be processed sequentially in a single batch job.

Applies only to batch execution. The maximum value is 99.

Specifies the number of steps (one step per object) there can be in a single batch job. This number is used as a maximum limit if optimization is selected.

Applies only to batch execution. The maximum value is 255.

Select if you don't want to see this panel each time a utility is executed. You can reset this option from the OS/390 and z/OS page of the Control Center Tools Settings notebook.
