Working with job schedule entries

 

In addition to the iSeries™ Navigator Job Properties - Job Queue window, you can also change the job schedule entry directly by using the character-based interface. The following is a list of common character-based interface tasks that you can use when working with job schedule entries.

Do not use the Work with Job Schedule Entries (WRKJOBSCDE) to alter or delete a scheduled job that was scheduled using the Management Central Scheduler or the Advanced Job Scheduler. If the job is altered or deleted by using WRKJOBSCDE, Management Central is not notified of the changes. The task may not run as expected, and error messages can appear in the Management Central server job logs.

• Adding a job schedule entry
  The Add Job Schedule Entry (ADDJOBSCDE) command allows you to schedule batch jobs by adding an entry to the job schedule. You can use this command to schedule a batch job to be submitted once, or to schedule a batch job to be submitted at regular intervals.

• Changing a job schedule entry
  This command changes the entry in the job schedule, but it does not affect any jobs already submitted using this entry. To change a job entry, use the character-based interface.

• Holding a job schedule entry
  The Hold Job Schedule Entry (HLDJOBSCDE) command allows you to hold an entry, all entries, or a set of entries in the job schedule. If an entry is held, no job is submitted at the scheduled time. To hold a job schedule entry, use the character-based interface.

• Printing a list of job scheduled entries
  To print a list of job schedule entries, use the character-based interface.

• Releasing a job schedule entry
  The Release Job Schedule Entry (RLSJOBSCDE) command allows you to release an entry, all entries, or a set of entries in the job schedule. If you release a job schedule entry, the job is not submitted immediately, even if the date and time at which it was scheduled to be submitted passed while the entry was held. If the scheduled time passed while the entry was held a warning message is sent to indicate that a job or jobs were missed. Then the job is submitted on any future dates for which it is scheduled to be submitted. To release job schedule entries, use the character-based interface.

• Removing a job schedule entry
  The Remove Job Schedule Entry (RMVJOBSCDE) command allows you to remove an entry, entries, or generic entries in the job schedule. Each job schedule entry corresponds to one batch job, and contains the information needed to automatically run the job once or at regularly scheduled intervals. A message is sent to you and the message queue specified in the job schedule entry when an entry is successfully removed. To remove a job schedule entry, use the character-based interface.
