M1: Issue a Job Order

This utility is used to issue manual job orders.

Although most job orders are requested by User Daily jobs that are automatically submitted by Control-M, it is sometimes necessary to issue a job order manually, as in the following situations:

to order a special purpose job
to issue a job order for a different working date, for example
- to reschedule a job run from the 1st of the next month to the 30th of this month
- to reschedule the run of an entire table (one that was not defined as a SMART Table) from the 4th of the month to the 5th of the month because all job runs in the table must be performed again

The utility screen (Figure 111) is displayed in the following ways:

Select option M1 on the Online Utilities menu.
Activate CLIST CTMJOBRQ from the TSO Command Processor.

Parameter	Description
SCHEDULING LIBRARY	Name of the scheduling library containing the table or jobs to be scheduled.
TABLE NAME	Name of the table (member).
JOB NAME	Name of the job to be scheduled. If you type an asterisk (*) in this field, all jobs in the specified table are ordered.
GROUP NAME	Name of the group to be scheduled. If you type an asterisk (*) in the field, all groups in the specified table are eligible for ordering. The Group name and Job name are logically ‘ANDED’ to determine whether a job will be selected for scheduling.
SCHEDULED RUN DATE	Original scheduling date of the job or jobs. The default is the current working date.
WAIT FOR ODATE	For a description of the WAIT FOR ODATE parameter, refer to Ordering Scheduling Jobs.
FORCED SCHEDULING	Determines whether the specified job or jobs are forced. Valid values are: Y (YES) – Schedule the job (or jobs) even if the requested date is not a scheduling date for the job according to its basic scheduling parameters. N (NO) – Schedule the job (or jobs) only if the requested date satisfies the basic scheduling criteria of the job.
FORCED SCHEDULING	Note: Jobs in SMART Tables must be forced. Merely ordering them is not sufficient.

CALENDAR LIBRARY	Name of the calendar library (if used) for scheduling the job or jobs. If no calendar library name is specified, the utility uses the calendar library or libraries that are allocated to the DACAL DD name in the online environment.
