Rebuild job dependencies (rebuild/job or rebjob)

Rebuild the job-to-job connections.

REBUILD examines job-to-job connections and verifies and corrects any that are broken or missing. The links that are examined are the PREREQUISITES list, INITIATES list, ACTIVATED_BY list, and HOLDS_UP list.

The INITIATES list and the ACTIVATED_BY list are the inverse of one another. When one list is edited the other list is updated automatically. The same relationship exists for the PREREQUISITES list and the HOLDS_UP list.

In general, this command is not needed since the job-to-job connections are rebuilt automatically when the lists are modified. However, if a job did not exist when it was entered into a list, then at the time when the job is created the REBUILD command should be used.

Windows/OpenVMS Format:

rebuild/job job_name [/qualifiers]

UNIX/Linux Format:

rebjob job_name [-qualifiers]

Qualifier Summary

/[no]log or -[no]log

/[no]confirm or -[no]confirm

/[no]node or -node =target_node

Examples

Windows/OpenVMS:

Schedule> rebuild inc* /log

UNIX/Linux:

Schedule> rebjob * -log

Qualifiers

/[no]confirm or -[no]confirm

CONFIRM requests that the user be prompted prior to any operation to verify that the selected entry is the correct one.

/hostname or -node =hostname

The qualifier specifies what node (either local or remote) you want the operation performed on.

/[no]log or -[no]log

The LOG qualifier causes each completed operation to issue a note to the user.
