Flowcharts

This topic contains examples of the kind of flowcharts you can use to organize your jobs into groups. They illustrate an accounts payable system with three different scheduling variations:

SCHID=1

The first flowchart shows the daily processing flow. This flow runs Monday through Friday, except the first and last days of the month.

SCHID=2

The second flowchart shows the first day of the month. This flow processes the normal daily jobs, and several monthly jobs.

SCHID=3

The third flowchart shows the last day of the month. This flow processes some of the normal daily jobs and some different monthly jobs.

The only job in this sample system that is calendar-scheduled is JOB01:

• It must be scheduled with a due-out time (DOTM) of 1600 under schedule IDs 1 and 2 and a due-out time of 1800 under schedule ID 3.
• Its lead time (LDTM) should be defined as one hour.
• It also has an extra requirement that the online systems are down; this must be defined to CA Workload Automation SE on the User Memo-Form Predecessors screen.

The rest of the jobs are triggered in:

• The word JTRG next to the flowchart identifies the trigger relationship. These relationships must be defined to CA Workload Automation SE on the Job Triggering screen.
• The word PRED on the flowchart identifies requirements that must be defined to CA Workload Automation SE on the CPU Job Predecessors screen.

Following the three standard flowcharts are three alternate flowcharts. They reflect the same relationships as the standard flowcharts but use a format that is similar to the output from the CA Workload Automation SE FSTRUC command. If you find it easier to work with, you can use this format. You can then use the output from the FSTRUC command to ensure that you defined your schedules correctly.

The following is a sample flowchart for SCHID=1.

The following is a sample flowchart for SCHID=2.

The following is a sample flowchart for SCHID=3.

The following is an alternate flowchart for SCHID=1, daily flow.
