Overview for job scheduling definitions

Job scheduling definitions consist of parameters that correspond to the decisions made and actions performed when handling the scheduling, submission and post-processing of a job. Job scheduling definitions are defined in the Job Scheduling Definition screen, shown below. This is the main screen of the Scheduling Definition facility.

Note: The PIPE parameter is displayed only if MAINVIEW Batch Optimizer (MVBO) is installed. RETENTION parameters # OF DAYS TO KEEP and # OF GENERATIONS TO KEEP are displayed only at sites that use the History Jobs file.

In a SMART Table, a SMART Table Entity (shown in Figure 140) must be defined before the job scheduling definitions.

Most parameters in the SMART Table Entity definition are the same as in the job scheduling definition, but they apply to the SMART Table as a whole. Therefore:

The following parameters in the SMART Table Entity are not found in the job scheduling definition:

Usage and operation of the Scheduling Definition facility, including entry and exit of the Job Scheduling Definition screen, is described in the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.

In addition to defining jobs through the Scheduling Definition facility, jobs can also be defined using the batch utility CTMBLT, described in the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide, or using the online utility QUICKDEF. The QUICKDEF utility, the Quick Schedule Definition facility, is available under ISPF only. For more information about it, see M5: Quick Schedule Definition.

This chapter provides a detailed description of the job scheduling definition parameters and statements.

The parameters of the Job Scheduling Definition screen are divided into the following categories:

A brief summary of the parameters in each category is provided on the following pages. This is followed by a detailed description of each parameter, in alphabetical order.
