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. The jobs are submitted such that each prerequisite job of the dependent job successfully completes prior to submission of the dependent job.
