4.3.4.4.13 SCHEDULE Command

Use the SCHEDULE command to execute the CA MICS processing
scheduled for today.

CA MICS maintains a processing schedule based on the
specifications you entered in sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS
(defaults for all units) and in prefix.MICS.PARMS for each
unit database.  You specified backup frequency in
prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF) and indicated in
prefix.MICS.PARMS(EXECDEF) whether WEEKLY, MONTHLY, and/or
YEARLY processing can occur during weekends.  You also
defined your installation's calendar (e.g., a 13 month fiscal
calendar) and week (e.g., the week starts on Sunday vs.
Monday) through the sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(CPLXDEF) or
prefix.MICS.PARMS(SITE) parameter members.

SCHEDULE generates and submits a batch job to perform daily
CA MICS database update processing and, if scheduled for
today, database backup.  If WEEKLY, MONTHLY, or YEARLY cycle
database close-out processing is due, SCHEDULE includes the
appropriate WEEKLY/MONTHLY/YEARLY processing in the generated
batch job.  SCHEDULE always includes a backup with
WEEKLY/MONTHLY/YEARLY processing.

  o You can specify the BACKUP operand with the SCHEDULE
    command to override the processing schedule and include a
    backup in the requested processing, even if no backup is
    currently scheduled.

  o You can specify the NOBACKUP operand with the SCHEDULE
    command to omit backup processing even if BACKUP, WEEKLY,
    MONTHLY, or YEARLY processing is scheduled for today.

SCHEDULE also saves a copy of the generated database update
processing in the prefix.MICS.RESTART.CNTL data set for the
unit database.
