Setting up the Advanced Job Scheduler
After you have installed the Advanced Job Scheduler, you need to configure it. After you have finished this preliminary work, you are ready to begin scheduling jobs.
- Assigning the general properties
You can follow these instructions to assign the general properties used by Advanced Job Scheduler. You can specify how long to retain activity and log entries for the Advanced Job Scheduler, as well as the period that jobs will not be allowed to run.- Specifying permission levels
This information explains how to specify permission levels for jobs, functions of the product, and provide new job default permissions.- Setting up a scheduling calendar
These instructions show how to set up a calendar of selected days for scheduling a job or job group. This calendar can specify the dates to be used for scheduling a job, or it can be used in conjunction with other schedules.- Setting up a holiday calendar
These instructions show how to set up a calendar for days that you do not want to allow processing for a scheduled job. Alternate days can be specified for each exception day, or processing can be skipped completely for that day.- Setting up a fiscal calendar
If you want to divide the fiscal year into periods other than months, follow these steps to set up a fiscal calendar of selected days for scheduling a job or job group.- Specifying a mail server to use for notification
A mail server is required if you want to send e-mail notification messages.- Setting up multiple scheduling environments
You can set up scheduling environments on the same system. By doing this, the original data library can act as the active data library and the copied data library can be used for testing. Thus you have two scheduling environments, one for testing and one that is the actual. In addition, the test data library can serve as a backup if there is a system failure on the original system. This feature gives you added protection if you create an error in the original data library because you have a backup copy of the data library.- Assigning data libraries to users
The data library stores any changes that the user does using the Advanced Job Scheduler. A data library contains all the objects found in the QUSRIJS library. You can have an unlimited number of data libraries.
