Miscellaneous Options

PASSWORD password

Specifies the CP LOGON password of the virtual machine being scheduled. If you do not specify a password or specify a ?, CA VM:Schedule prompts for the password. If the SCHEDULE command is invoked by means of the CP SMSG command, you must specify the password explicitly on the command line.

Your CA VM:Schedule system administrator can specify that users not be allowed to enter the password in the options string, but instead must be prompted for the password, in which case CP SMSG cannot be used. CA VM:Schedule verifies your CP LOGON password when you issue the SCHEDULE command. You can change your password without affecting future initiations of the request.

SYSNAME {systemname | *}

Specifies the system name of the Single System Image member where this request is to run. The system name specified must be a member of the SSI cluster where CA VM:Schedule runs. Specify * if you want to clear this field in a request that has it already set. If not specified the request is run on the SSI member where CA VM:Schedule is running. This option is invalid if CA VM:Schedule is not configured for Single System Image mode.

USER userid

Specifies the user ID on which the request is to run. If not specified, the user ID defaults to the user ID that issued the SCHEDULE command. When you schedule a request to run on another user ID, make sure the other user ID either owns the scheduled program or EXEC, or has access to it.

Description

The SCHEDULE command schedules a program, EXEC, or CP or CMS command for initiation on an autologged virtual machine.

Make sure that your PROFILE EXECs and scheduled EXECs contain a SET BLIP OFF command to keep any resulting console spool files free from extraneous data.
