Nonexecutable Jobs

Use the EXEC setting on the job definition panel to mark nonexecutable jobs. Setting the EXEC field to N on the job definition panel can make jobs nonexecutable. Nonexecutable jobs are used for many different reasons, one of which could be as a control job that triggers many others. The EXEC setting is for all runs of a job at any time.

Note: You can make a job nonexecutable only during specific times of any day it is scheduled to run or for a specific SCHID.

Business Value:

This best practice helps ensure the flexibility of your workload scheduling.
