Field Descriptions
For more information on the HOLD job attribute, see Job Definition on page 6-102. The
default value is N.
Job Start Time
Use the Job Start Time field with the Override field to specify one of these start times.
(The times apply to jobs selected by the control job for submission in a bulk submit
run.)
•
The default start time for jobs whose start time is not explicitly specified. The
default time applies when the value in the Override field is N (No). Table 6-1 shows
the priority given to the start times specified on different screens.
If a job has the WAIT attribute, the NetBatch-Plus application adds the wait time to
the default start time for that job. For more information on the WAIT attribute, see
Job Definition on page 6-102.
•
The start time for all jobs in the run, regardless of the individual start times
specified for those jobs. This time applies only when the value in the Override field
is Y (Yes).
You can specify the start time by entering, in any order, a date, a time, or both. For
more information about date and time forms, see the preceding description of the
Start Submit field.
The default value is the current date and time.
Y Yes specifies the attribute HOLD ON. The schedulers place the jobs on hold as soon as
the bulk submit program submits them. The schedulers flag the jobs with a state of
SPECIAL-1, and the jobs do not run until you change their individual HOLD attributes to
OFF.
N No specifies the attribute HOLD OFF. The jobs are available for execution as soon as the
bulk submit program submits them.
