SCHEDULE
MOTIF Interface Guide

There are 8 submit parameter fields (P1 through P8). Each field is just character data that is passed into the batch job as DCL symbols P1, P2, ..., P8. They can be used in whatever fashion is needed by the developer.

2.2.1.5 Notify...

Whenever a notification event occurs, the information regarding the event is collected and placed in a temporary COM file. This file is then submitted to the notification batch queue indicated in the system parameter file. This notification procedure is capable of delivering two types of messages. One is a broadcast message to the user (if still logged in). The other is a mail message. The user name or names that are specified can be logical names that in turn provide a distribution list for all the various messages.

The various notification events are detailed below:

Data	Description
Submitted	This field indicates that the user(s) is to receive a message when the job has been submited for execution.
Started	This field indicates that the user(s) is to receive a message when the job actually starts execution.
After_Delayed	This field indicates that the user(s) is to receive a message when the job has been delayed. A job is considered delayed if it stays in a "wait for" scheduling queue longer than the AFTER_DELAYED time. In all the other scheduling queues a job is considered delayed if it stays there longer than the value indicated by the STUCK_AFTER parameter.
Completed	This field indicates that the user(s) is to receive a message when the job has completed successfully.
Failed	This field indicates that the user(s) is to receive a message when the job fails. During the processing of scheduling requests various problems can arise (for example invalid calendar name, etc.). All such events also trigger failure notification events.
Delayed after	This is the AFTER_DELAYED time. A job is considered delayed if it stays in a "wait for" scheduling queue longer than the AFTER_DELAYED time.

2.2.1.6 Reschedule...

There are four different reschedule forms that will appear, depending on which method is chosen in the main Job Control Data form. These are:

• No Automatic - No automatic rescheduling is performed.
• Named Day - The Named Day scheduling method allows the user to select a day of the week, the end or beginning of a month or year, or accounting quarters to designate when a job will run.
• Interval - The Interval scheduling method uses an interval and a start time to designate when a job will be scheduled and rescheduled.
• Marked Calendar - The Marked calendar rescheduling method uses a calendar to indicate what specific days the job will run.

The forms are described in the Tables below:
