Job Management Manager DCL Commands › SCHEDULE> › SCRIPT JOB › Description

Description

SCRIPT JOB facilitates the recreation of existing local jobs onto nonlocal systems. This function allows the user to specify a set of local Job Management Manager jobs, and optionally their dependencies and dependents and scripts a DCL command file capable of recreating the same jobs and dependency structure. The command file can then be copied over to another computer to recreate the same jobs and streams.

The scripting function is available only with the DCL user interface. Wildcard characters are permitted. You must own the jobs or have READ access to them to script them.

The scripting function assumes that all identifiers, username, node restriction, stall and timeout jobs are present or valid on the node, on which the scripted file gets executed.

If an entire dependency structure is requested, the jobs get scripted in such an order as to be able to recreate the entire tree.

Note:

• The generated script does not support any Special Day characteristics of a job. Apply these settings manually after the script is run.
• The script does not support remote dependencies. Apply these settings manually after the script is run.
• For jobs which use Load Balance Groups, the SCRIPT JOB command adds commands to define the Load Balance Group, but the group might be empty. The jobs include the /LOAD_BALANCE_GROUP specifier. However, if no nodes are added to the Load Balance Group itself, the jobs run on any node in the target cluster.
