Step 3: When to Execute the Mission

The third set of parameters you can fill in are the Runtime Scheduling parameters. In this section, you define information about when the mission should execute after it has been placed in the Active Missions file.

Backup Mission Runtime Scheduling Parameters

   IN                                                                          

   TIME FROM      TO      NOT LATER THAN      PRIORITY                        

  

When all runtime parameters are fulfilled concurrently, the backup mission will start executing. The Control-D monitor checks the Active Missions file at specified intervals (defined in CTDPARM) to see if the specified criteria have been met. You can specify dependency information to the backup mission using parameter IN.

If you have to manually load tapes or cartridges, you should ensure that backup missions are run when there is someone there to respond to the mount requests. You can achieve this by scheduling only on working days, and by specifying time windows for the execution of backup missions.
