Easy-to-Use Screens Introducing NetBatch-Plus Easy-to-Use Screens NetBatch-Plus screens are simple to use. Their fields appear in logical groups that help you specify and interpret the data the fields contain. To help you quickly identify field purpose, field names are unambiguous. You can select NetBatch-Plus screens by function key from menus or individual data screens. You can also use function keys to print screen copies, to recover screens, and to get online help.
Screen-Based Job and Scheduler Management Introducing NetBatch-Plus Screen-Based Job and Scheduler Management The NetBatch-Plus scheduler interface screens enable you to set up and control NetBatch schedulers and their objects (executors, classes, and jobs). You can view details of jobs executing in or awaiting execution by schedulers. Where necessary, you can also alter details of the jobs or stop their execution.
Introducing NetBatch-Plus Communicating With NetBatch Systems Communicating With NetBatch Systems You can use a single NetBatch-Plus system to communicate with and control multiple NetBatch systems running on the same or different nodes. For example, you could use a NetBatch-Plus system running on \WORLD to control NetBatch systems on that node as well as those on \LONDON and \MILAN. Figure 1-1. Communicating with NetBatch Systems NetBatch \WORLD.$ZBAT Scheduler Database Spooler NetBatch \WORLD.
Managing NetBatch Objects Introducing NetBatch-Plus Managing NetBatch Objects The NetBatch-Plus scheduler interface screens enable you to set up and control these NetBatch objects: Schedulers Executors Classes Jobs You can execute the BATCHCOM commands used in object management by function key. For example, F3–Submit on the NetBatch-Plus Job Info screen has the same function as the BATCHCOM command SUBMIT JOB.
Storing NetBatch Job Descriptions in the NetBatchPlus Database Introducing NetBatch-Plus Storing NetBatch Job Descriptions in the NetBatch-Plus Database One of the main functions of the NetBatch-Plus application is to store descriptions of NetBatch jobs in its database. You can select jobs from the database as often as you need and submit them to NetBatch schedulers for execution.

Selecting and Submitting Jobs From the NetBatchPlus Database Introducing NetBatch-Plus Selecting and Submitting Jobs From the NetBatch-Plus Database The NetBatch-Plus application offers you three methods of selecting jobs from its database and submitting them to NetBatch schedulers. Two methods enable you to select and submit jobs individually. The third method lets you select jobs in bulk.
Selecting and Submitting Jobs in Bulk Introducing NetBatch-Plus category of those jobs. By supporting these varied selection criteria, the NetBatch-Plus application gives you extremely powerful bulk job selection facilities. Schedulers and Classes You can specify selection of jobs that run in a particular scheduler and belong to a particular class. For added flexibility, you can also specify a range of schedulers and classes by using wild-card characters in the scheduler and class names.

Installing NetBatch-Plus Installation, Startup, and Shutdown Installing NetBatch-Plus Installation of NetBatch-Plus software is a two-stage process: 1. Transfer NetBatch-Plus software files from the site update tape (SUT) to your system. You transfer the files by running DSM/SCM. 2. Install the software on your system by invoking the NetBatch-Plus installation macro INSTALL. Figure 2-1.
Before You Begin Installation, Startup, and Shutdown Before You Begin Before installing NetBatch-Plus software: 1. Read this section to familiarize yourself with the installation process. 2. Make sure your system’s hardware, firmware, and software satisfy the installation prerequisites for NetBatch-Plus software (see Table 2-1). Table 2-1.
Installing NetBatch-Plus Software Overview Installation, Startup, and Shutdown during INSTALL execution and Xnn the software version; for example, $SYSGEN.R9189D48. • Copies these files from the DSV to the target subvolume (TSV). For brief descriptions of these files, see Appendix A, File Descriptions and Locations.
Installation, Startup, and Shutdown Installation Example PS0130O. For information on this command, see the File Utility Program (FUP) Reference Manual. 3. After your super ID licenses the files, you can cold start the NetBatch-Plus PATHWAY system. For information on cold starting the system, see Configuring and Starting the NetBatch-Plus Pathway System on page 2-11. Installation Example 1. Change your current volume and subvolume to the NetBatch-Plus TSV: $DATA7 ADMIN 34> VOLUME $SYSGEN.
Installation, Startup, and Shutdown Installation Example Before continuing installation, INSTALL checks the specified subvolume for files with the same names as the files INSTALL creates. If no such files exist, INSTALL continues processing. If the subvolume contains files with the same names, INSTALL prompts you to continue or end installation. If you continue, INSTALL keeps existing data files but purges DDL and ENFORM files and the text file from the subvolume before creating new ones.
Installation, Startup, and Shutdown Installation Example valid number. If you specify a down CPU, INSTALL displays a warning and continues processing. If your system has only two CPUs, INSTALL does not ask about backup CPUs. The valid range of CPU numbers is 0 - 15 Inactive CPUs are : 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 a. Indicate the primary CPU for the Pathway monitor process PATHMON: PATHMON CPU number ............
Installation, Startup, and Shutdown Installation Example k. Indicate the Guardian name of the output file for the server class (can be a device, disk file, or process): Out terminal “\node.$device” ................: $s l. Specify the timeout period (in seconds) for NetBatch-Plus screens and the action taken when the period expires: Time-out value (>= 300 sec) for PATHWAY server: 300 The timeout period determines how long NetBatch-Plus displays a screen after use.
Installation, Startup, and Shutdown r. Installation Example Specify whether HIGHPIN is on for the Main server (if so, you can use only systems running D-series or G-series RVUs to run NetBatch-Plus): If Main server has HIGHPIN ON, all NETBATCH servers used by NetBatch-Plus must be D11 or greater. Main Server HIGHPIN (ON/[OFF])...............: ON s. Specify whether to use a daily bulk submittal: Daily Bulk Submit 24-hour Window ([Y]/N) ....: Y t.

Installation, Startup, and Shutdown Cool Starting the NetBatch-Plus Pathway System Note. Before starting system configuration, NCOLD purges any existing Pathway control and log files (NBPCTL, NBPLOG, NBPLOG2) from the object file subvolume. If you are cold starting a newly installed system for the first time, these files will not exist. For this reason, the TACL command interpreter displays “File error 11” messages (“File not in directory …”) when NCOLD tries to purge the files.
Installation, Startup, and Shutdown Shutting Down the NetBatch-Plus Pathway System Shutting Down the NetBatch-Plus Pathway System To shut down the NetBatch-Plus Pathway system at any time, invoke the TACL macro NSHUT. This macro (created during the installation process) performs all tasks necessary to effect an orderly shut down of the system. These tasks include stopping the terminals, the TCPs, and any unopened servers.
Installation, Startup, and Shutdown Migrating a NetBatch-Plus Database Migrating a NetBatch-Plus Database This subsection describes how to migrate a NetBatch-Plus database from one system to another system. This is particularly useful for users migrating from an HP NonStop K-series system to a NonStop S-series system. When migrating to a new system, you must change or update many job attributes.
Installing DBUPDATE Installation, Startup, and Shutdown a. Enter the user name or number for the DBUPDATE system owner. b. Enter the subvolume (with or without the volume) containing database files to update. If the database files are inconsistent in the specified subvolume, DINSTALL displays: The DATABASE files are inconsistent. One or all of the following files are missing from the subvolume. ... Do you want to continue with installation? c. Enter Y to continue the installation. d.
Installation, Startup, and Shutdown Installing DBUPDATE o. Enter the print file for screen: Print file for screen (device or process) .... : $s.#p p.

3 Changing the NetBatch-Plus Pathway Configuration This section explains how to make changes to the NetBatch-Plus Pathway system: Topic Page The Pathway Configuration File 3-1 Changing the Pathway Configuration 3-1 Customizing NetBatch-Plus Screens 3-2 Specifying the Output File for the SF13–Print Function 3-5 The Pathway Configuration File The Pathway configuration file for the NetBatch-Plus application is PATHCONF.
Changing the NetBatch-Plus Pathway Configuration Customizing NetBatch-Plus Screens Customizing NetBatch-Plus Screens You can customize these two NetBatch-Plus screens: • • Reports Utility Menu Customizing the Reports Screen You can substitute your own reports for those on the Reports screen by changing, in PATHCONF, the report ASSIGNs and PARAMs for the utility server (PS0130). • • Report ASSIGNs specify the Enform compiled query files or EDIT-format source files of the reports.
Changing the NetBatch-Plus Pathway Configuration Customizing the Utility Menu Screen Customization Example Figure 3-2 gives an example of the PATHCONF changes necessary to substitute one of the reports shown on the Reports screen with another. In the example, the Job Attachments report replaces the Calendar by Category report from Figure 3-1 on page 3-2. The substitution involves changing the ASSIGN and PARAM for REPORT6. The ASSIGN identifies the report’s ENFORM compiled query file.
Changing the NetBatch-Plus Pathway Configuration Customizing the Utility Menu Screen screen. For example, OPTION1 indicates the program is the first program listed on the screen after BATCHCOM, OPTION5 the fifth program, and so on. Figure 3-3.

4 Setting Up the Processing Environment This section describes how to plan and set up your NetBatch-Plus processing environment: Topic Page Planning Guidelines 4-2 Setup Procedures 4-16 Processing environment is a general term used in this manual to describe the working configuration of the NetBatch-Plus system. The procedural instructions do not contain detailed information about screen fields and functions. For this information, see Section 6, NetBatch-Plus Screens.
Planning Guidelines Setting Up the Processing Environment Planning Guidelines The NetBatch-Plus application offers a wide range of facilities that simplify batch job setup, submission, and management. These facilities are powerful productivity aids whose benefits you can maximize through careful planning of your batch processing environment. This subsection discusses general guidelines to help you plan an effective processing environment for your organization.
1. Identify Existing and Potential Batch Jobs Setting Up the Processing Environment You can usually derive the data you record on screen copies from information in one or more of your tables. For example, you can derive detailed setup information about schedulers from the table you create listing general scheduler information. As well as offering you a convenient means of recording setup information, screen copies let you keep hard copy records of your setup data.
Setting Up the Processing Environment 2. Plan Schedulers Information in the table helps you plan schedulers, executors, and classes as well as defaults sets and jobs. For example, information in the Executor Program, Executor Program Nodes, and Tape Drives columns helps you plan your system’s schedulers. The CPU-Bound and I/O-Bound columns contain information helpful in planning executors and classes.
3. Plan Classes and Executors Setting Up the Processing Environment A final consideration relates to scheduler naming conventions. Because you can use wild-card characters on some screens to specify multiple schedulers, consider giving schedulers names you can mask easily with those characters. Example Figure 4-2 is an example of a table listing details of the schedulers planned for a 3-node system.
Setting Up the Processing Environment 3. Plan Classes and Executors To further enhance the effectiveness of CPUs as resource managers, have classes catering for jobs with similar processing times. For example, plan classes for long jobs and classes for short jobs. You can also use classes to group jobs that have a common function or purpose.
3. Plan Classes and Executors Setting Up the Processing Environment performance. In these circumstances, you might decide to assign only one executor to the CPU or perhaps none. Planning which classes to assign to an executor is important in setting up an effective processing environment. As a rule, assign classes whose jobs have similar characteristics to executors catering for jobs with those characteristics.
Setting Up the Processing Environment 4. Plan Defaults Sets As well as showing the executors assigned to each CPU, it also illustrates class distribution among those executors. For example, classes C1 through C4 are assigned, in different order, to four executors (E1, E4, E8, and E12), each of which is assigned to a different CPU. Jobs in classes C1 through C4 have equal processing opportunities because each class appears once at the top of a class list, once in second position, and so on. 4.
5. Plan User Access to Screens and Functions Setting Up the Processing Environment Figure 4-4. Example of a Defaults Sets Table Job Scheduler Class Owner A \ADMIN.$MGR C1 205, 255 TACL $S Set1 B \DEVELOP.$DEV C7 25, 5 TACL $G Set2 C \ADMIN.$MGR C1 205, 255 TACL $D Set3 D \ADMIN.$MGR C1 205, 255 ENFORM $S Set1 E \WORLD.$ZBAT C14 255, 255 TACL $S Set4 F \DEVELOP.$DEV C7 25, 5 COBOL $G Set2 G \DEVELOP.$DEV C7 25, 5 FUP $G Set2 H \ADMIN.
5. Plan User Access to Screens and Functions Setting Up the Processing Environment One way to reduce the number of user records is by having records for employee groups instead of individual records for each user. For example, you could plan one user record for use by all system operators and another for all accounting department staff. It is not recommended that records be used for user groups, however, if their existence infringes on your organization’s system security guidelines.
Setting Up the Processing Environment 5. Detailed Job Planning access and I (for Inquiry) specifies access for inquiry purposes only. The word “Nil” equates to a blank on either of the two screens and specifies no access. The values in the Change Password column indicate whether users can change their own passwords. In the example, all users can do this except users who sign on as Operator (that is, members of the operators’ group).
Setting Up the Processing Environment 6. Plan Catalog Attachments a single catalog attachment. You can then use that attachment for as many jobs as you want, overriding its attributes at the job level when necessary. Planning Considerations and Recommendations You derive information about the catalog attachments for your system from the attachments you planned for your jobs. By sorting through those attachments, you can identify attachments shared by a number of jobs.
7. Plan for Bulk Submit Processing Setting Up the Processing Environment Figure 4-6.
Setting Up the Processing Environment • • 7. Plan for Bulk Submit Processing One way to identify job groups is by listing, in date order, the run dates for your jobs. This process suggests obvious job groupings (all jobs due to run on the same date) you might decide are sufficient. To take the grouping process one step further, look for specific groups among jobs with common run dates.
7. Plan for Bulk Submit Processing Setting Up the Processing Environment 01 July. You could do this by specifying, on the Bulk Job Selection Criteria screen, each run date when you do not need the statements. You then set the inclusion flag of each date to EX (Exclude). This ensures a bulk submit run selecting jobs by the category FIRSTDAY does not select Job K on the excluded dates. Figure 4-7.
Setup Procedures Setting Up the Processing Environment Setup Procedures This subsection explains how to set up your NetBatch-Plus processing environment. Each task description contains procedural instructions designed for use with the relevant parts of Section 6, NetBatch-Plus Screens.

Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens process-name is the name of the scheduler process. When you display the screen, the field shows the name of one of these schedulers: • • The scheduler from the defaults set associated with the signed-on user. The NetBatch-Plus application shows the name of this scheduler if you display the screen when no functions have been performed during the current session.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens An executor name can contain from 1 through 24 letters and numbers. It can also contain hyphens (-). The name must begin with a letter and can end with any letter or number but not with a hyphen. CPU Use the CPU field to set the CPU attribute of the executor named in the Executor Name field. The attribute specifies the CPU where the executor program process of any job associated with the executor runs.
Functions NetBatch-Plus Screens To set the CLASS attribute, enter the names of the classes you want to assign to the executor. (The classes must be added to the scheduler on the Class Details screen before you can assign them to the executor.) The order in which you assign classes to an executor determines the class priority. For example, assigning class B to the first field in the Classes column and class A to the second field gives priority to jobs in class B.
Functions NetBatch-Plus Screens Function Description F8–Delete** Deletes the current executor. F8–Delete has the same function as the BATCHCOM command DELETE EXECUTOR. F10–Start** Starts an executor that has a state of OFF. F10 is the same as the BATCHCOM command START EXECUTOR. An executor whose state is OFF can be a new executor added by F4–Add but not started. It can also be an existing executor stopped by F12–Stop. Starting the executor makes it available for job processing.
Executor Status NetBatch-Plus Screens Executor Status Use the Executor Status screen to display status information about one or more executors. The information identifies each executor’s CPU and shows executor processing states. If an executor is running a job, the information also includes the job number and name of the class to which the job belongs. Figure 6-16 shows the screen format. Figure 6-16. Executor Status Screen NETBATCH-PLUS EXECUTOR STATUS 01Jan2002 SNP280 \WORLD.

From the Ad Hoc Job Selection screen, move the cursor to a selection field next to a listed job and press F9–Display Job or F10–Create Temp.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens process-name is the name of the scheduler process. Class Use the Class field to set the CLASS job attribute. The attribute links the job to an executor and therefore to the executor’s CPU. To set the attribute, enter the name of an existing class. If you submit a job without specifying its CLASS attribute, the job adopts the DEFAULT-CLASS scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler attribute, use the Scheduler Info screen.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens The NetBatch-Plus application prevents users who do not have read access to a record from updating, using, or deleting that record. This restriction applies regardless of the security codes assigned to the record’s write, use, and purge attributes. When you display the screen, the NetBatch-Plus application shows one of the following user IDs in the first part of the field. The security attributes associated with that user appear in the third part of the field.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens an input file, you can specify a dummy file. Examples of executor programs not requiring input files are the File Utility Program (FUP) and the Disk Space Analysis Program (DSAP). An input file must contain commands compatible with a job’s executor program. For example, if a TACL process is the executor program, the file must contain TACL commands. Users with write access to your job input file can alter any attribute of or delete a job that uses the file.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens Volume Use the Volume field to set the VOLUME job attribute. The attribute specifies the system, volume, and subvolume for unqualified file references in a job input file. These values are passed to the executor program in the startup message.

Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens Job selection is by job submission time if jobs with the same SELPRI attribute are scheduled to run at the same time. Pri Use the Pri field to set the PRI job attribute. The attribute specifies the execution priority of the executor program process of a job. The attribute is adopted by any process created by the job if the execution priority of that process is not explicitly stated.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens • Greater than the TAPEDRIVES scheduler attribute, the job is never scheduled for execution. To avoid this, do not specify more drives for a job than are specified by the TAPEDRIVES scheduler attribute. If it does occur, resolve it by doing one of: ° Increase the number of drives specified by the TAPEDRIVES scheduler attribute ° Reduce the number of drives required by the job For more information on the tape drives counter, see Scheduler Info on page 6-190.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens If you submit a job without specifying its MAXPRINTPAGES attribute, the job adopts the DEFAULT-MAXPRINTPAGES scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler attribute, use the Scheduler Info screen. The MAXPRINTPAGES job attribute applies to the job log file and the output of each process started by the job: • • If the job log file fills, the spooler logs error code 45 (“File is full”) to the scheduler log file but continues processing the job.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens At/Af Use the At/Af field with the Time field to set the AT job attribute or AFTER job attribute. The options for the At/Af field are: AT Specifies the AT job attribute. The attribute causes a job to be executed at the time specified in the Time field. If an executor is not available at that time, the scheduler creates a temporary executor to run the job.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens Restart Use the Restart field to set the RESTART job attribute. The attribute specifies whether the job is restarted automatically if it fails during execution for any of the following reasons: • • • The executor program process stops or abends with completion code 7. This code indicates to the scheduler the job is to be restarted if its RESTART attribute is ON. For more information on completion codes, see the Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens Y N Yes specifies that any user can submit the job on the Ad Hoc Job Selection screen. No specifies that only the owner can submit the job on the Ad Hoc Job Selection screen. Other users can submit the job but only if they validate the owner’s Guardian user ID before selecting the job.

To go to the previous page, press the Prev Page key. To return to the Job Dependencies screen, press F16.
Job Info NetBatch-Plus Screens Job Info Use the Job Info screen to define a one-off job and to submit that job to the scheduler for execution. A one-off job is a job whose details are not recorded in the NetBatch-Plus database. After executing a one-off job, the scheduler deletes it unless it is recurrent. (A recurrent job is a job with the CALENDAR or EVERY attribute.) After you submit a one-off job, you can use the functions on the Job Info screen to alter the job’s attributes.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens Field Descriptions Scheduler Use the Scheduler field to specify, in this form, the scheduler for the job: [\system-name.]$process-name system-name is the name of the system where the scheduler process resides. You do not have to enter the name if the process resides in the default system (the system where the NetBatch-Plus Pathway system is running). process-name is the name of the scheduler process.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens To set the attribute, enter the name of an existing class. If you submit the job without specifying its CLASS attribute, the job adopts the DEFAULT-CLASS scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler attribute, use the Scheduler Info screen. A scheduler selects jobs from a class whose executor is available (that is, the executor’s state is ON) in this order: • • • Jobs with a state of RUNNOW have the highest priority.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens If you submit the job without specifying its EXECUTOR-PROGRAM attribute, the job adopts the DEFAULT-EXECUTOR-PROGRAM scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler attribute, use the Scheduler Info screen. When you specify a remote executor program, the job runs in the CPU assigned to its executor, but it runs on the remote system. If the CPU is unavailable, the next available CPU on the remote system is used.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens For information on securing files using the SAFEGUARD facility, see the Safeguard Reference Manual. For information on securing files using the Guardian security system, see the Guardian User’s Guide. If you specify a nonexistent input file for a job you submit, the NetBatch-Plus application displays a warning but submits the job anyway. If the job has a time attribute, the HOLD attribute, or the WAITON attribute, you can create the file any time before execution.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens If you submit the job without specifying its OUT attribute, the job adopts the DEFAULT-OUT scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler attribute, use the Scheduler Info screen. Volume Use the Volume field to set the VOLUME job attribute. The attribute specifies the system, volume, and subvolume for unqualified file references in the job input file. These values are passed to the executor program in the startup message.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens If you submit the job without specifying its SELPRI attribute, the job adopts the DEFAULT-SELPRI scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler attribute, use the Scheduler Info screen. Job selection is by job submission time if jobs with the same SELPRI attribute are scheduled to run at the same time. Iffails Use the Iffails field to set the IFFAILS job attribute.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens • Use the $RELEASE command if the master job’s executor program is an NBEXEC process You can place the macro or command anywhere in the input files of the master jobs. For information on ZBAT:RELEASE and $RELEASE, see the NetBatch User’s Guide. A dependent, recurrent job always depends on its master jobs. A dependent job does not run again when rescheduled until released once more by its masters.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens The options for the Restart field are: Y N Yes specifies the attribute RESTART ON. The job is restarted if it fails during execution for any of the reasons listed previously. Execution of a restarted job begins at the start of the job, not from where it stopped. There is no limit to the number of times a job restarts while the failure condition continues. A recurrent job with the RESTART ON attribute is not restarted unless it also has the IFFAILS ON attribute.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens Y N Yes specifies the attribute HOLD ON. The job is placed on hold as soon as you submit it. The job is flagged with a state of SPECIAL-1 and does not run until you change the attribute to HOLD OFF. No specifies the attribute HOLD OFF. The job is available for execution as soon as you submit it. You can alter the HOLD attribute of an existing job with a state of EVENT, READY, RUNNEXT, SPECIAL-n, TIME, or TAPE.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens Hold After Use the Hold After field to set the HOLDAFTER attribute for jobs with a time attribute (AFTER, AT, CALENDAR, EVERY, and WAIT). The HOLDAFTER attribute specifies whether a job is placed on hold after it finishes executing. The field options are: Y N Yes specifies the attribute HOLDAFTER ON. The job is placed on hold when it finishes executing and is flagged with a state of SPECIAL-1. No specifies the attribute HOLDAFTER OFF.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens The options for the Stop On Abend field are: Y Yes specifies the attribute STOP-ON-ABEND ON. The job is stopped as soon as any process started by it terminates, abends, or stops for the reasons listed previously. Processes already started by the job is also stopped. Caution. If your TACL version is earlier than T9205C20 AAJ, the executor program process might start new processes before the scheduler receives the terminate, abend, or stop message.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens AFTER Specifies the AFTER job attribute. The attribute makes a job available for execution on the date and time specified in the Start Time field.
Field Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Screens Wait Use the Wait field to set the WAIT job attribute. The attribute delays execution of a job for a specified number of hours and minutes after job submission. To set the attribute, enter the delay period in the form: [h]h:[m]m [h]h is an integer in the range 0 through 23 specifying the number of hours. [m]m is an integer in the range 0 through 59 specifying the number of minutes.
Functions NetBatch-Plus Screens When you submit a job with EVERY attribute, the job automatically adopts the attribute IFFAILS OFF. The job is not rescheduled if it abends during execution. To have the job be rescheduled if it abends, specify the attribute IFFAILS ON before submission. A job with the EVERY attribute might accumulate a job backlog while suspended. When you activate the job, it runs repeatedly until the backlog is cleared.
Functions NetBatch-Plus Screens Function Description F3–Submit Submits the job to the scheduler for execution. (F3 is the same as the BATCHCOM command SUBMIT JOB.) After you submit the job, to alter its attributes and change its selection priority, use the functions on the Job Info screen. You can delete the job if it is not executing or suspended. You can further control the job using the functions on the Job Status screen.
Functions NetBatch-Plus Screens Function Description F4–Run Next Promotes the current job to run as soon as an executor associated with its class is available.

After installing NetBatch-Plus software, the locations of the files are: • • Compiled query files—in the database subvolume specified during installation Source files—in the subvolume $volume.
Bulk Submit Reports NetBatch-Plus Reports The NetBatch-Plus utility server processes requests for reports from the Reports screen. (The primary function of the utility server is to give users access from within the NetBatch-Plus application to processes listed on the Utility Menu screen.) For each report request, the utility server creates these secondary processes: • • The report server The Enform query compiler/report writer. This process creates, in turn, the Enform query processor.
Writing Your Own Enform Reports NetBatch-Plus Reports Production of Bulk Submit Reports For an overview of the production process for bulk submit reports, see Figure 7-2. The bulk submit program produces reports during bulk submit runs. The program also creates a temporary output file (ZZNPnnnn) and writes a report record (REPORT-BULK) to that file for each job selected in the run. You can write your own Enform queries to report on this information as needed.
Report Descriptions NetBatch-Plus Reports Report Descriptions This subsection describes the standard database and bulk submit reports supplied with NetBatch-Plus software. The reports are listed alphabetically by name. Each description includes: • • • • • A report summary. The name of the report record used for Enform queries.
