What is Personal Scheduling?

CA 7/PERSONAL SCHEDULING (CA 7/PS) is designed to extend the functionality of scheduling jobs to virtually anyone within a company who has access to a terminal connected to their mainframe. It is an easy way to set up and monitor jobs without having to spend much time learning to use the various extended functions that are available in CA WA CA 7 Edition.

Important! CA 7/PS was designed only for CPU job types; however all options except ADD (define) can be used for any job type (for example, CPU or cross-platform). If you want to ADD a job, it is automatically added as a CPU job. You cannot ADD an XPJOB or an agent job using the PS panel.

CA 7/PS provides the following functions:

• Add a job to CA WA CA 7 Edition
• Schedule the job to run on a date/time basis
• Run a one-time job without having to add it to CA WA CA 7 Edition
• Run a job in sequence with another job
• Display the last time that a job ran
• Display the next time that the job is scheduled
• Display information about a job that is running (or about to run)
• Delete previously defined jobs
