Running Jobs By Request

Most of the jobs in your shop are either scheduled or triggered, the way we scheduled and triggered jobs in Chapter 3. But sometimes a job must run on a different day or must run only by special request. These jobs can be demanded in to the system by issuing the DEMAND command. Demanding in two of our jobs illustrates this method. Enter this command on the top line of your screen:

DEMANDH,JOB=NAMED

You see a message like this example on your screen:

DEMANDH,JOB=NAMED SPO7-00 JOB NAMED (nnnn) ADDED TO THE REQ/Q BY DEMANDH REQUEST COMPLETED AT hh:mm:ss ON yy.ddd.

Then enter this command:

DEMANDH,JOB=NAMEC

You see this message:

DEMANDH,JOB=NAMEC SPO7-00 JOB NAMEC (nnnn) ADDED TO THE REQ/Q BY DEMANDH REQUEST COMPLETED AT hh:mm:ss ON yy.ddd.
