The Cobwebb Job Scheduler details screen displays the information entered on the first screen, in addition you can specify an Action Type and Action after days.

Entries

Job Name

The name that you wish to give this job when it runs.

Program Name

The name of the program you wish to run.

Program Library

The Library Name where the above Program Name resides or *LIBL to find it in the Library List for the Job Description.

Command to call

Here you can specify a command to call. If you enter the command name and press F4 you will be able to enter any parameters for the command - from version 6.2.70.

M T W T F S S m q y

This displays when the Job is run. MTWTFSS represent the days of the week and mqy Monthly, Quarterly or Yearly. Enter a "1" under the entry for each day you wish the job to be run. If you pick Monthly, Quarterly or Yearly then the job will be run on the first day of the Month, Quarter or Year respectively. Note: A job will only ever be run once on a particular day i.e. if you have selected to run the job on a Monday and Monthly and the start of the month is a Monday it won't run twice.

Schedule Time

Enter the time when you wish the job to be submitted on the selected days. If you leave this as 00:00:00 then the job will be submitted at the Start of the day or when the CPPD subsystem starts up, whichever is the first.

Notes:

If you have specified a Schedule Time for a Job and this falls within the sleep period for the Cobwebb Job Scheduler (Job Scheduler delay time) then it will be submitted when the job wakes up.

If the CPPD subsystem is not running at the time when a job has been scheduled then the job will not be submitted that day, unless the Schedule Time is set to 00:00:00 or the Submit it Time Past has been set to "Y".

Submit if Time Past

This entry is used to let the Cobwebb Job Scheduler know whether or not to submit the job even though the Schedule Time has passed. This would only be required for jobs where you don't wish to set the Schedule Time to 00:00:00 and for some reason the CPPD subsystem is not running at the time that the Schedule Time has been set to. There may be some jobs that you wish to be run regardless of the time. If this is the case then you would set this entry to "Y" to make sure that the job is run when the CPPD subsystem is started.

Job Description

The Job Description that you wish to be used when running this job. This controls information such as the Job Queue, Library List, User etc.
