EnterpriseSCHEDULE can submit jobs that were created in the OpenVMS version of the software as part of your EnterpriseSCHEDULE layouts. The settings for submission of OpenVMS jobs are detailed below.
On Node
This specifies on which node this job is to execute. Inside a cluster, any node that is a member of the same cluster is allowed to submit and execute the job. This parameter is very useful in a "Satellite/Central database" network configuration. In this network topology, the job will execute on the remote node. All the control data and commands will come from the central database.
Job name
This defines the job name that is to be assigned this job when it is executing. By default this name is the same as the job entry in the SCHEDULE database.
In batch queue
This defines what batch queue the job is to be placed in for execution. This can be either a generic or node specific execution queue. The default if none has been defined either implicitly or explicitly is SYS$BATCH.
Process flags (checkboxes)
Hold in Queue - Place the job in the PENDING state on entering into the batch queue.
Retain on Error - Keep the log file on line after the job finishes.
Batch notify - Notify via batch.
Log file
This specifies where to place the job log file that is created during job execution. Any filename that is provided is parsed and a default location is used to compile any missing elements.
Print queue
This defines what print queue that the log file, if it is to be printed, is to be inserted into. The default if none has been defined either implicitly or explicitly is SYS$PRINT.
Output flags (checkboxes)
Keep log file - Keep log file upon completion.
Print log file - Print the log file after the job finishes.
Delete com file - Delete the job temporary COM file on completion.
Characteristics
This is a single known characteristic name that is to be associated with the job when it is submitted. Characteristics are arbitrary attributes that can be assigned to job queues. A job will only execute in a queue with matching characteristics.
CPU Time Limit
This specifies the maximum CPU time that the job will execute. The batch queue also has a CPU time limit the smaller of the two is used. If none is specified this implies NO LIMIT. The field contains a standard delta date specification. This value places a hard limit on the jobs execute time limited.
Account name
This specifies what account value to assign the job when it is submitted for execution. This parameter is only useful if you have an application that can use this value.
Command interpreter
This specifies which command language interpreter will be enabled for the batch job. The default value is DCL.
Queue priority
This specifies what queue priority to assign this job when it is inserted into the batch queue for execution.The priority is NOT the execution priority but strictly the priority used to order jobs in the batch execution queue while they are waiting to start.
Working set default
This defines for a batch job a working set default and the default number of physical pages that the job can use. If the queue on which the job executes has a nonzero default working set, the smaller of the specified job and queue values is used. If the queue on which the job executes has a working set default of 0, the smaller of the specified job and UAF values (value established in the user authorization file) is used. If you specify the value 0 or NONE, the specified queue or UAF value is used.
Working set quota
This defines for the batch job a working set quota and the amount of physical memory that the job is guaranteed. If the queue on which the job executes has a nonzero working set quota, the smaller of the specified job and queue values is used. If the queue on which the job executes has a working set quota of 0, the smaller of the specified job or the value established in the user authorization file (UAF) is used. If you specify the value 0 or NONE, the specified queue or UAF value is used.
Working set extent
This defines for the batch job a working set extent and the maximum amount of physical memory that the job can use. The job uses the maximum amount of physical memory only when the system has excess free pages. If the queue on which the job executes has a nonzero working set extent, the smaller of the specified job and queue values is used. If the queue on which the job executes has a working set extent of 0, the smaller of the specified job and the value established in the user authorization file (UAF) is used. If you specify the value 0 or NONE, the specified queue or UAF value is used.
