Job Management Option › Windows Configuration Environment Variables

Windows Configuration Environment Variables

The environment variables in the following list are referenced in other various sections of this chapter. For a summary of all Windows CA NSM JM Option environment variables, see the online CA Reference.

Default calendar

Specifies the name of the default CA NSM JM Option calendar. The default name is BASE. Set in the Configuration Settings dialog by clicking the Options tab and then the Job Management Options tab.

Autoscan hour and Interval between Autoscans

Sets the time of day for the new‑day autoscan and the interval between autoscans for the current workday. Set to different values to change the default time of the new-day autoscan (default is 0 for 00:00 or the default autoscan interval (default is every 3 hours). Set in the Configuration Settings dialog by clicking the Options tab and then the Job Management Options tab.

Post on Cancel?

Controls the effect of the cancel command on successor jobs. The default setting is Y. When set to Y (yes), the CA NSM JM Option posts on cancel, which allows successor jobs to run because the predecessor requirement is satisfied by the predecessor having been removed (by the cancel command) from the current day’s workload.

If the variable is set to N (no), successor jobs dependent on the prior completion of a canceled job are not posted. Because the predecessor requirement is not satisfied, successor jobs remain in a WPRED (waiting for predecessors) status.

If you change this variable, you must stop and restart the CA NSM JM Option using the following commands:

unicntrl stop sch

unicntrl start sch 

Note: Running the unicntrl stop sch command stops job submission and disables display of the status tracking information for jobsets and jobs. These processes resume when you run the unicntrl start sch command. There is no loss of tracking data for jobs that complete or abnormally terminate while the CA NSM JM Option is stopped. The Job Event Logger continues to run and track completion of scheduled processes even while the CA NSM JM Option is stopped.

Cycle count precedence?

Controls how the number of cyclic job iterations are calculated when cyclic jobs are demanded after their early start time.

Authorized remote manager nodes

Specifies a comma-delimited list of authorized remote manager nodes allowed to submit jobs. The default (blank) is to allow all job managers to submit jobs to the job agent.
