<h1 class="topictitle1">Schedule tasks or jobs with Management Central scheduler</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>iSeries™ Navigator
|
||
|
|
provides two different tools you can use to schedule tasks or jobs: an integrated
|
||
|
|
scheduler (the Management Central scheduler) and the Advanced Job Scheduler.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Management Central scheduler</h4><p>The Management Central
|
||
|
|
scheduler helps you to organize when you want your tasks to occur. You have
|
||
|
|
the option of choosing to perform a task immediately or choosing a later time.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You
|
||
|
|
can use the Management Central scheduler to schedule a variety of tasks. For
|
||
|
|
example, you can automate the process of collecting an inventory (such as
|
||
|
|
hardware, software, or fixes) on whichever day fits your operating schedule.
|
||
|
|
You might schedule such a collection to occur every Saturday night at 10 p.m.
|
||
|
|
You can also schedule to clean up the save files and cover letters of the
|
||
|
|
fixes from your systems on the first of every month. Or you might want to
|
||
|
|
install a set of fixes once. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Using the scheduler function gives you
|
||
|
|
the flexibility to do your work when it is convenient for you. In addition,
|
||
|
|
you can use the Management Central scheduler to do almost any task in Management
|
||
|
|
Central. For example, you can schedule when to do any of the following tasks:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Run commands on selected endpoint systems and system groups</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Collect inventory on selected endpoint systems and system groups</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Collect system values inventory on selected endpoint systems and system
|
||
|
|
groups; then compare and update system values to those on a model system</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Create, delete, edit, and send users and groups across multiple endpoint
|
||
|
|
systems</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Send fixes or packages of files and folders to selected endpoint systems
|
||
|
|
and system groups</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Start installing fixes, uninstall fixes, or install fixes permanently</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Delete the save files and cover letters for selected fixes on selected
|
||
|
|
endpoint systems and system groups</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Start and stop Collection Services on selected endpoint systems and system
|
||
|
|
groups</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can schedule a task to run once, in which case the task runs a
|
||
|
|
single time beginning at the specified date and time.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To schedule a
|
||
|
|
later time to perform a task, click <span class="uicontrol">Schedule</span> from any
|
||
|
|
window in which the button is displayed. Your scheduling information is stored
|
||
|
|
on the central system and submitted from there. No scheduling function is
|
||
|
|
needed at the endpoint system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following scheduling options are
|
||
|
|
available from the Management Central scheduler:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li><span class="uicontrol">Daily</span> <p>The task runs every day at the specified
|
||
|
|
time beginning on the specified date.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span class="uicontrol">Weekly</span> <p>The task runs every week at the specified
|
||
|
|
time beginning on the specified date. You may either accept the default (today's
|
||
|
|
date) or specify the day of the week when you want the task to run.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span class="uicontrol">Monthly</span> <p>The task runs every month at the specified
|
||
|
|
time beginning on the specified date. You may either accept the default (today's
|
||
|
|
date) or specify a day of the month (1-31), First day, or Last day.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">You can schedule any task for which a <span class="uicontrol">Schedule</span> button
|
||
|
|
is available. For example, you can schedule a specific time to collect inventory.
|
||
|
|
(If you want full calendar management, you should use the Advanced Job Scheduler.)<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> <img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Do not use the Work with Job Schedule Entries
|
||
|
|
(<span class="cmdname">WRKJOBSCDE</span>) to alter or delete a scheduled job if that
|
||
|
|
job was scheduled using the Management Central Scheduler or the Advanced Job
|
||
|
|
Scheduler. If the job is altered or deleted by using <span class="cmdname">WRKJOBSCDE</span>,
|
||
|
|
Management Central is not notified of the changes. The task might not run
|
||
|
|
as expected, and error messages can appear in the Management Central server
|
||
|
|
job logs. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></div>

</div>
|

|
<p>For more information about these
|
||
|
|
and other Management Central tasks and topics, refer to the detailed task
|
||
|
|
help that is available from the iSeries Navigator window. Click <span class="uicontrol">Help</span> from
|
||
|
|
the menu bar and select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">iSeries Navigator overview</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Management Central</span></span>.</p>

</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Advanced Job Scheduler</h4><p>The Advanced Job Scheduler
|
||
|
|
is a separate licensed program (5722-JS1) that you can install and use to
|
||
|
|
schedule tasks and jobs. This scheduling tool provides more calendar features
|
||
|
|
and offers greater control over scheduled events. If you have Advanced Job
|
||
|
|
Scheduler installed, click the <span class="uicontrol">Schedule</span> button from
|
||
|
|
any iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
window to schedule tasks and jobs. To find more information about installing
|
||
|
|
and using this tool, see the Advanced Job Scheduler topic.</p>
