Early Start Time

Early start time indicates the earliest time a job may start. For CPU jobs, this is the earliest time they would be submitted to the operating system. Once the job’s jobset has started, the CA NSM JM Option checks the job’s early start time. If you specify an early start time for the job, the job remains in WSTART status (waiting for the job’s early start time) until that time arrives. When the time arrives, or if the job does not have an early start time specified, the job advances from WSTART to WPRED status (waiting for predecessor requirements to be satisfied).
