Submissions report will list information about the jobs selected in the run.
After submitting the jobs in a daily run, the bulk submit program increments
the date in the Start Submit field by one day. The time specified in the field
does not change. The control job runs again on the new date but at the
time specified for the original run. If you specified a selection date in the
Select By Date field, the program also increments that date by one day.
The Bulk Submit Predictions report lists information about the jobs due to
run on the following day. The bulk submit program produces this report at
the same time as the Bulk Submit Submissions report.
