Change Report-Scheduler field descriptions
Field Description
Job Id This is a display-only field. It is the unique identifier for the report. The Job
ID assigned by the system is the lowest number, within the range of 1
through 50, that is not in use.
Job Status This is a display-only field. It identifies the print status of the report. The
four possible states are:
● Waiting - The report is not scheduled for any activity during the current
15-minute time interval.
● Print-Next - The report is scheduled to be printed within the current
15-minute time interval.
● Printing - The report is currently being printed.
● Printed - The report has been successfully printed during the current
15-minute interval.
Command This is a display-only field. It is the command that is to be executed.
Print
Interval
The three possible options are immediate, scheduled, and deferred.
If the print time of a report is changed, so that its scheduled time now falls
inside the current 15-minute time interval (that is, the Job Status field
changes from waiting to print-next), the report will not be printed in
the current interval.
Print Time This field is displayed only when the Print Interval is set to deferred or
scheduled. Within a given hour, reports may be scheduled at 15-minute
intervals (that is, xx:00, xx:15, xx:30, or xx:45).
The system printer requires significant switch processor resources. It is
important that the reports be scheduled for off-peak hours. The reports
should not all be scheduled for the same hour and time interval, but should
be staggered across multiple off-peak time intervals. If, because of printing
volume or other problems, a report is not printed within four hours of its
scheduled time interval, it will not be printed until its next scheduled time
interval. Immediate and deferred jobs would be removed from Report
Scheduler under this scenario and would require that you reschedule
them.
Days of
Week
For each day of the week that the report is to be printed, enter y (yes).
Alternatively, enter n (no) for those days when the report should not be
printed. Selecting an n for all seven days of the week will effectively disable
a report from being printed. Days are defaulted to n.
