Parameters of the Job Scheduling Definition Screen

The Job Scheduling Definition screen is divided into the following sections.

Table 36 Parameters of the Job Scheduling Definition Screen

Parameter

Description

General Job Parameters

In this section, you can enter specific information about the job itself – in which member and library the JCL is found, who is the owner of the job, and so on.

Basic Scheduling Parameters

In this section, you can enter scheduling criteria (for example, the days of the week or month on which the job must be submitted).

Runtime Scheduling Parameters

In this section, you can enter submission criteria including conditions that must be fulfilled (generally, successful completion of a preceding job) before submission of the job, resources required by the job, and time limitations on job submission.

Post-Processing Parameters

In this section, you can enter fixed or conditional actions to perform upon job completion, or upon the execution of specified job steps. For example, you can set conditions that trigger the submission of other jobs, you can send messages to the operator console, or you can rerun the job.

These sections are divided by a delimiter line.

A brief description of all parameters in each section of the Job Scheduling Definition screen is provided on the following pages. A detailed explanation of these parameters is provided in Job Production Parameters.

Note: Parameters marked with the symbol M can have multiple occurrences. Whenever you fill in the last occurrence of the parameter on the screen, Control-M adds a new empty occurrence of the parameter that you may fill in. The only limit to the number of occurrences is the region size available for the application.
