Work 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.
Important: 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.
- Add 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.
- Change 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.
- Hold 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.
- Print a list of job scheduled entries
To print a list of job schedule entries, use the character-based interface.
- Release 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.
- Remove 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.
