Automating using KYS

The KYS utility is built into the EnterpriseSCHEDULE command line tool. The procedure is to record the commands needed to execute the program and then submit them into batch for execution.

This differs from the BPTD method described earlier in that a sub process is only used during the record session. Playback is accomplished by letting the VMS Batch system run the recorded commands as a normal batch job command file. This uses less system resources but certain recorded sessions may not work as needed.

The commands are:

$schedule insert <job_name> keystrokes

$schedule submit <job_name>

examples:

$schedule insert monthly_convert keystrokes

$schedule submit monthly_convert
