Create and schedule a job group

Set up and schedule a series of jobs that run consecutively in a specified order. Jobs within a job group require completion before the next job is submitted for processing.

Job groups are jobs that are grouped together to run consecutively in the order specified. A normal completion is required for each job in the group before the next job in the group is submitted for processing. If any job in the group does not complete normally, the processing stops for that group.

To create and schedule a new job group, follow these steps:

  1. Open Work Management from your iSeries Navigator window.
  2. Click Advanced Job Scheduler.
  3. Right-click Job Groups and click New Job Group.

Refer to the online help for more information as you fill in details for the new job group.
