Functions
Override
Use the Override field to specify whether the time in the Job Start Time field overrides
the individual start times of jobs in the run. The field options are:
The default value is N.
Functions
These functions are available on the Bulk Submit screen:
Y Yes specifies the time in the Job Start Time field overrides the individual start times of all
jobs in the run. The bulk submit program submits the jobs to their schedulers at the
specified time.
N No specifies the time in the Job Start Time field does not override the individual start
times of jobs in the run. However, the time in the field acts as the default start time for
jobs whose start time is not explicitly specified. For more information on the default start
time, see Job Start Time on page 6-14.
Function Description
F1–Test Run
For Specified
Run Date
Executes a test bulk submit run in which the bulk submit program selects
jobs by date but does not actually submit them for processing. The program
selects the jobs by the date specified in the Select By Date field. The Bulk
Submit Predictions report lists information about the jobs selected in the
run.
This function lets you test a bulk submit run before executing a production
run.
F2–Production
Run For
Specified Run
Date
Executes a production bulk submit run in which the bulk submit program
selects jobs by date and submits them for processing. The program selects
the jobs by the date specified in the Select By Date field. The Bulk Submit
Submissions report lists information about the selected jobs.
The bulk submit program checks for dependent jobs among the jobs it
selects in a run. When the program finds a dependent job, it also checks
the selected jobs for the dependent’s masters. If found, the program
submits the dependent job before those masters, which means the
dependent job exists for its masters to release. If the program cannot find
the masters among the selected jobs, it submits the dependent job anyway,
but the scheduler does not execute that job until its masters release it.
To check whether the bulk submit program selects a dependent job’s
masters, do one of:
•
Execute a test bulk submit run and review the Bulk Submit Predictions
report produced for that run. In its Start Time/Waiton column fields, the
report lists the names of master jobs selected in the run.
•
Use the Bulk Job Selection criteria screen to check whether the
dependent job’s masters have the same selection date or category as
the dependent job.
