On-Request Scheduling

Provisions are included in CA WA CA 7 Edition to permit on-request scheduling of work. This is the method of scheduling jobs that do not have predefined processing cycles (or jobs that must be forced into early execution). However, on-request scheduling, using the RUN command, may optionally cause some of the normal scheduling activities to be bypassed. This includes verification of requirement availability, construction of postprocessing workstation networks, data set creation updates to the database and triggering of other data sets or jobs.

To accomplish on-request scheduling, use the DEMAND and RUN commands for jobs or the DMDNW and RUNNW commands for networks.
