For detailed information on the procedures, see the NetBatch Manual.
Starting a Scheduler Programmatically
To start a scheduler programmatically, use the Guardian procedure,
PROCESS_CREATE_ to run the scheduler program NETBATCH. When NETBATCH is
running, use the programmatic commands ADD SCHEDULER (cold starts only) and
START SCHEDULER (cold starts and warm starts) to make the scheduler available for
use. For detailed information on the cold-start and warm-start procedures, see the
NetBatch Manual.
For information on the PROCESS_CREATE_ procedure, see the Guardian Procedure
Calls Reference Manual. For information on the programmatic ADD SCHEDULER and
START SCHEDULER commands, see Section 5, Commands and Responses.
Opening a Scheduler
A process sets up communication with a NetBatch scheduler by sending an open
request to the scheduler. The scheduler can handle up to 2000 concurrent opens from
executor-program processes, child processes of executor-program processes, and
BATCHCOM, NetBatch-Plus, or user-written requester processes.
You can open a scheduler interactively or programmatically.
Opening a Scheduler Interactively
To open a scheduler interactively, use the BATCHCOM command OPEN. You can
execute the command explicitly during a BATCHCOM session or implicitly in, for
