D Many of the concepts mentioned in other chapters of this manual are A expanded here. SCHEDULE line commands are used here for E simplicity to illustrate the examples, but in most cases the Windows D GUI, MOTIF or Web client interfaces may also be used to perform the same operations. Q 2.1 Job characteristics
H Several of the attributes that are associated with each job are further $ explained in the following sections. 6 2.1.1 Job rescheduling
H Any job that is using time based starts will have a rescheduling method 8 established. When the start time of a job occurs the job F is initiated and the next start time is identified using the declared G rescheduling method. There are three distinct methods that can be used.
| Method | &Description |
|---|---|
| Named day | + Select the start days by their names. |
| Interval | ( Specify a start time and interval. |
| Marked Calendar | , Marks on calendar indicate start days. |
/ It is important to keep in mind that these are C REscheduling methods. A job must first be given a H start time and be allowed to initiate before a rescheduling decision is made by the system. H If a job does not already have a start time, use the following commands > to set the start time to the next future rescheduled run time.
|
" 7 $ SCHEDULE MODIFY JOB_NAME/GENERAL=NEXT_START=NOW+0:10 " $ SCHEDULE INCREMENT JOB_NAME/LOG |
F All rescheduling methods examine the calendar assigned to the job. If 3 runs are disallowed on the calendar on the day that ? the job should run then the system adds 1 day and attempts the G operation again. If the calendar is a work day calendar then only work C days are considered, i.e. the tenth day of the month on a work day C calendar is the tenth work day not the tenth standard calendar day. = 2.1.1.1 Named day rescheduling
= Various names are known to the system. They are listed below.
| MONDAY | MONTH_START |
| TUESDAY | MONTH_END |
| WEDNESDAY | YEAR_START |
| THURSDAY | YEAR_END |
| FRIDAY | 445 |
| SATURDAY | 454 |
| SUNDAY | 544 |
H For example a report must be generated every Monday, Tuesday and Friday < mornings. The following command will establish this type of rescheduling.
|
" A $ SCHEDULE MODIFY START/RESCHED=(NAMED=(MON,TUES,FRI),TIME=8:00) |
