In this blog post, let’s learn about the error message “OSUF” in IBM Workload Automation, the reason why it appears and the solution to fix it.
Error Message
OSUF
Error Details
A failure occurred when IBM Z Workload Scheduler attempted to retrieve the JCL for a job or started task. This code is set if the SUBFAILACTION keyword of the JTOPTS initialization statement specifies that the operation should be marked as ended-in-error. This code is also caused if you have JOBCHECK(SAME) and the job name in the application description does not match the one on the job card. Another reason for this code is a job is missing JCL that was packed by ISPF in EQQJBLIB.
In an end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities, this code indicates that an error occurred while the scheduler was queuing the submission event for the job. For jobs with centralized scripts, it might also show that IBM Z Workload Scheduler could not download the script to the distributed agent.
