 MESSAGE: ENTER FUNCTION, TRANSFER OR ENTER A COMMAND ON THE TOP LINE

Fill in the fields on this screen as follows:

FUNCTION:

Enter ADD.

SCHID:

Enter 1 to indicate that this schedule is the first schedule we have defined for NAMEA. (We learn more about this field when we schedule a job differently.)

ROLL:

Enter F. This value rolls the scheduling of NAMEA forward to the next day when Tuesday or Thursday happens to be a holiday on calendar 5D.

DOTM

Use your tab key to place the cursor under this heading. The value tells what time the job has to end (its due-out time). Specify 2100.

LDTM

Use this field to tell how many minutes it typically takes to process the job (its lead time). Specify 30 to give the job a half hour to run. CA Workload Automation SE uses this number to figure out when it has to start the job to complete on time. In this case, it has to start the job by 2030 so it completes by 2100.

WEEKLY

Tab to this field and enter an X to the left of the word WEEKLY and more Xs to the right of TUE and THU.

Press Enter and watch for the ADD FUNCTION SUCCESSFUL message at the bottom of the screen:

 MESSAGE: SAVE FUNCTION SUCCESSFUL FOR SJnnnnnn
          SCHEDULE MUST BE RESOLVED

See the two messages at the bottom of the screen? They inform you that your schedule has been saved and that it must now be resolved.
