CA7 is an enterprise-class job scheduler that runs primarily on IBM z/OS mainframe systems. It automates the scheduling, monitoring, and management of batch jobs and workflows.
The value of JOB NAME column is the scheduled task name, where it could be different from the actual invoked JCL name. To make it unique throughout the dependency analysis, the scheduled task name is a combination of JOB NAME, line number of current job - 1 and the scheduler file name.
For example, assuming the CA7 scheduler file name is: myScheduler.ca7 and part of the content is shown below, then the first scheduled task name is: OPENFIL-0-myScheduler.ca7.

--------------------------- TRIGGERED JOBS ----------------------------
JOB=ACCTFILE SCHID=030 QTM=0100 LEADTM=0000 SUBMTM=This block can exist in a Job list line, but is not mandatory. When the block exists, it builds a link between the listed job and the triggered job.
In the example above, Job CLOSEFIL will trigger job ACCTFILE.
The value of JOB can imply the next scheduled task name.
The value of SCHID can imply the next scheduled task schedule ID.
