• Monitoring Data Exchange Operations
• Notifying the development community of critical batch outages that impact operations
• Implementing emergency changes
• Processing on-demand requests

The Scheduling Control Team (SCT) performs 24/7 monitoring, reporting, problem determination, escalation, and assists with resolving production failures, while interfacing with the development community and other components. Scheduling personnel also monitor the recycling of systems, online CICS regions, and the Central Version Processors (CVP).

In addition, the SCT processes emergency schedule and on-demand batch request, coordinates the release of emergency batch software via the Batch Release Processing System (BRPS) or Urban Code Deploy (UCD), and is involved in the tracking and transmission of data to and from the agency via Data Exchange software, in support of the operation, maintenance, management, and documentation of a complex, large‑scale computer operation.

• Monitor batch production workloads located on z/OS mainframe and distributed platforms that produce data exchange transactions.
• Monitor data exchanges via data exchange software application packages (i.e., Control M, TSO/ISPF, Cyberfusion, Managed File Transfer, Connect: Direct) for failed or hung files, and track the movement of files, both inbound and outbound.
• Process batch production job requests received via online MS/PRS system for assigned mainframe and/or distributed workload.
• Investigate and take corrective action to resolve operational batch production problems to ensure assigned batch production workload runs in its entirety and on time.
• Implement operational procedures using PCOM/TSO/ISPF, and Control-M/Control-M/EM Scheduling Software when processing requests received via Master Scheduling/Production Request System (MS/PRS):
• Monitor assigned batch workload (i.e., z/OS, distributed).

• Review production performance data and monitor job stream performance.
• Perform restart and recovery routines, as necessary.
• Perform JCL overrides on mainframe, as necessary.
• Assist in analyzing trouble situations as it pertains to batch production failure caused by bad data, database errors, system failure, etc.
• Provide technical support to SCT customers, which include internal system staff as well as the external development community, the latter of which is the focus of SCT.

• Edit/Override JCL and process jobs for one or more computer systems, as appropriate.
• Establish job streams for special production requests based on user requirements.
• Maintain online MS/PRS production request log for active requests and provide necessary updates in the system for assigned workload.
• Process and maintain emergency batch software requests received at the Emergency Requests mailbox
• Establish CAPRS/Incident Management tickets documenting batch production failures encountered on assigned workload and reassign CAPRS/Incident Management records for all emergency batch software requests, when received.
• Update emergency CAPRS/IM record with justification from the developer and generate the CMS record when completed, for auditing purposes.

• Experience with PCs running the most current Windows platform, experience with MS Office suite of programs, and computer operations experience in a mainframe operating systems software environment utilizing IBM Time Sharing Option (TSO) and IBM Interactive System Productivity Suite (ISPF).
• Experience is needed with some or all the following software packages: z/OS 1.4 (or higher), MVS/ESA-OS/390, JES3 V4, ISPF, CICS, OPS/MVS II, JCL, DB2, TCP/IP;
