Global Schedule RESOLV

To help ensure seamless scheduling of the workload, we recommend that you perform a global RESOLV twice annually, first sometime between January 1 and June 30, and the second between July 1 and December 31 (after the next year's calendars are built).

Business Value:

This best practice helps ensure seamless job schedule processing.

Additional Information:

Perform global RESOLVs in batch (using BTI). The following is the syntax for the command:

RESOLV,OLDYR=*,TEST=NO,PRINT=YES/NO,SCAL=xx

The PRINT value is YES or NO. YES produces much output. Verify that the BATCHOUT data set is large enough to handle this output. If you have a BATCHOUT OVERFLOW condition when running a RESOLV command, either use keywords on the RESOLV command to cut down the number of job schedules or reallocate the BATCHOUT file larger.

Always check the RESOLV output to verify that all schedules resolved successfully.

Also, look at the RESOLV output for the following message:

SRC1-117 (W) ID MULTIPLE SCHEDULES AT LEAST ONE DAY

This message indicates two or more SCHDIDs are scheduled to process on the same day. This message sometimes indicates a scheduling error. Determine whether the job processes multiple times on the same day. If it does, this message is an informational message. If not, add DUPDATE=YES to the RESOLV command to see what dates are duplicately scheduled so that the schedule can be corrected.

You can use the LSCHD command to determine whether you have any expired schedules or whether you have schedules expiring after June 30 or December 31. Between January 1 and June 30, you can enter the following command to see any schedules expiring July 1:

LSCHD,DSNBR=SJ*,ST=JUL

Or to see schedules that expiring December 31, enter the following:

LSCHD,DSNBR=SJ*,ST=JAN

The following is also a command that you can enter to see whether you have any currently expired schedules:

LSCHD,DSNBR=SJ*,ST=EXP

A RESOLV removes any manual modifications made using the SCHDMOD panel to schedules. Before you resolve schedules, issue the following command to see whether any have been SCHDMODed:

LSCHD,DSNBR=SJ*,ST=MOD
