DB.2.1 - Job Scheduling Panel

Note: Although this panel and command specifically mention the CPU jobs, these functions are also available with all cross-platform jobs (for example, XPJOBs or agent jobs).

The DB.2.1 - Job Scheduling panel lets you define or review options that are taken for CPU jobs with date/time schedules.

To display the panel, enter:

• 1 as the FUNCTION on the DB.2 Menu panel.
• 2.1 as the FUNCTION on the DB Menu panel.
• DB.2.1 as the FUNCTION value on any other menu or formatted input panel.
• DB.2.1 or SCHD,JOB as a top line command.

To exit the panel:

• Press PF3 to return to the DB.2 Menu panel except with the TSO/ISPF interface when PF3 has been assigned to another function.
• Move the cursor to the top line of the panel and enter the wanted top line command if yet another function is wanted.

 MESSAGE:

This panel contains the following fields:

FUNCTION

Specifies the function to perform. Value must be the name of some other panel or one of the following:

CLEAR

Clears the panel input data fields and resets the SCHID-COUNT to 0.

DELETE

Deletes a job schedule member from the database.

EDIT

Transfers the user to the EDIT facility as shown on the Job Scheduling Parameter Edit panel, which enables the addition or modification of job schedules in a work area.

FE

A combination of the FETCH and EDIT commands. Retrieves all schedule data currently defined for the job and transfers you to the secondary scheduling panel. The scheduling information for the first schedule ID defined for the job is displayed.

FETCH

Retrieves job schedule data from the database and makes all schedule information for this job available to the user through the EDIT function of this panel.

REPL

Replaces existing schedule member in the database. Any SCHMODs that have been done to the schedule are cleared. This is not the same as overlaid, which can only occur when a RESOLV is done.

RESOLV

Generates a RESOLV command for the job indicated using the calendar specified. Any new or modified calendar based schedule must be resolved before it takes effect.

SAVE

Adds a new job schedule member to the database for this job.

Note: The FETCH function can reference one job name while the SAVE or REPL function specifies a different job name. This lets the user make some changes to the schedule of an existing job and save those changes as the schedule for a new job.
