RUNNOW JOB Command
RUNNOW JOB Command
Use the RUNNOW JOB command to make the scheduler run a job immediately. The
command overrides job dependencies, timing attributes, and selection priority and
makes the scheduler create a temporary executor for the job.
file-name
specifies a command output file. The file can be a device, a process, or a disk file.
For a disk file, BATCHCOM appends output if the file exists, but creates an EDIT
file if the file does not exist. If you specify / OUT / (that is, omit file-name),
BATCHCOM suppresses output.
job-ID
specifies the name, number, or range of names of a job or jobs whose state is
EVENT, READY, RUNNEXT, TAPE, or TIME. (job-ID cannot specify jobs whose
states are EXECUTING, OVER LIMIT, RUNNOW, SPECIAL-n, or SUSPENDED.)
To specify a range of job names, use the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wild-
card characters. An asterisk on its own specifies all jobs.
NOT
excludes jobs that satisfy the specified job-selection criterion.
filter
specifies one of these job-selection criteria (see STATUS JOB Command on
page 6-165):
A[TTACHMENT]-S[ET] [ ( user-ID ) ] attachment-set-ID
#CURRENT ]
CL[ASS] class-ID
IN file-ID
STATE state
U[SER] user-ID
WAITO[N] master-job
Considerations
•
The RUNNOW JOB command is available to NetBatch supervisors only.
•
A job whose state is EVENT has the WAITON attribute and does not run until
released by its masters. The RUNNOW JOB command overrides the attribute and
forces the job to run, regardless of the completion states of its masters.
