How Job Management Manager Works › Special Days › How Special Days Affect Run Times › Remote Sites

Remote Sites

Special Day Restrictions work the same way for all jobs, whether they run locally, remotely, or have dependencies.

Note: The /SD_ACTION qualifier is not supported when a server is specified.

For a job running on a remote site, the Special Days relevant to that remote site may be defined on the scheduling node and used as a Special Day Restriction for the remote job. For example, if a job runs on a machine in Japan, but its schedule is determined by the manager running on a machine in the United States, the Special Days relevant to Japan must be defined on the machine in the United States. They may then be used as Special Day Restrictions in determining the remote job’s next scheduled run time.

For jobs in a dependency tree, Special Day Restrictions are taken into account only when determining the job’s next scheduled run time. The job will run once its next scheduled run time has passed, and its dependencies are satisfied.

Note: Special Day Restrictions on a job can also affect the run time of another job that has a dependency on that job.

Special Days are not taken into account under the following conditions:

• When the first start time for a job is calculated as it is created
• When you use the SCHEDULE SHOW SCHEDULE command
