# Submit Command or Job dialog box

You use this dialog box to reuse a command that you previously issued through the Storage Toolkit. The relevant types of commands include the following:

- A standard command like the Migrate command for data sets that invokes the Dataset Migration dialog box.
- A batch job generated in the Create Batch Job dialog box.
- A command generated in the Issue Command dialog box

You select data rows in a workspace, such as data set names or volume names, and right-click and select Submit Command or Job to invoke the dialog box. The Submit Command or Job dialog box is displayed and includes the following features:

- A table of data regarding commands that have previously run, including the ID of the creator, name and type of command, and the syntax of the command.
- The Show only actions applicable to the selected data row(s) check box. When you select this option, the table updates to display only the toolkit actions that are relevant to the selected data rows or commands that do not require data from the underlying tables. (These rows are the ones that you select prior to right-clicking and selecting Submit Command or Job in the pop-up menu.)

When you select a toolkit action and click OK in the Submit Command or Job dialog box, the relevant toolkit dialog box is displayed. For example, if you click on an action that migrates data sets and click OK, the Dataset Migration dialog box is displayed. At the same time, the relevant values of the data rows that you selected in the portal workspace are captured for use in the dialog box. When you submit the action, all the values are combined into a single batch file. The current Tivoli® Enterprise Portal user ID is used for this transaction. For more information, see Authentication and authorization for running Storage Toolkit commands.
