Several new features have been added and numerous errors discovered and corrected in this version of EnterpriseSCHEDULE. They are listed below.

2.27.1 General Changes

• New MONTHLY rescheduling mode - New rescheduling mode allows the ability to schedule jobs on a monthly basis. Jobs can be scheduled using criterion such as "FIRST TUESDAY" or "THIRD FRIDAY" of all or select months of the year.
• Added Job Variables to Job Definition - Job Variables have been added to Job Definitions with increased size allowance of both the name (50 characters) and the value (200 characters). An infinite number of Job Variables may be added to a job to supplement the previous limit of 8 Parameters. In addition, Job Variables may be included from other jobs. Parameter tab in Job Property page has been reformatted to include color coded listing of Parameters, Job Variables and Included Job Variables.
• Added "View Server Log" selection from Job explorer - Server log may now be viewed from the Windows Client by right clicking on the server in the Explorer View and choosing "View Server Log".
• Added "IF condition THEN FAILJOB" resource - A new resource condition has been added to cause a job to fail if the condition is met. This was implemented to force initiates to not be submitted in a job stream if a job fails because a resource condition is met.
