Entering Source Data
Entering Source Data
The BATCHCAL program generates a run calendar from source data supplied in an
EDIT input file or during an interactive BATCHCAL session. Source data comprises a
number of statements that specify:
•
A calendar file name. The file holds up to 10,000 run times.
•
A default job start time.
•
Information that enables BATCHCAL to calculate run times. BATCHCAL can
generate multiple run times for each day specified.
Whether you enter source data in an EDIT file or interactively, it must conform to the
structure and format rules in Formatting Source Data on page 5-6.
Entering Source Data in a File Versus Entering It Interactively
The decision to enter a run calendar’s source data in a file or interactively depends on:
Can run at a high PIN? Yes None
Can recognize high PIN
process IDs?
NA None
Defaults to run at a high
PIN?
Yes A BATCHCAL process runs at a high PIN
by default when all these conditions exist:
•
The operating system on the node
where the process runs is a D-series
system configured to handle high PIN
processes.
•
The BATCHCAL process creator (for
example, a D-series TACL process)
can create high PIN processes.
•
The BATCHCAL process creator does
not force the process to run at a low
PIN.
•
A high PIN is available in the target
CPU.
To prevent BATCHCAL from running at a
high PIN, specify run option HIGHPIN OFF
in the TACL RUN command. For example:
RUN BATCHCAL /HIGHPIN OFF, …/
