Field Descriptions
For more information on the At/Af field, see Job Definition on page 6-102.
Time
Use the Time field with the At/Af field to specify the AT job attribute or AFTER job
attribute for the defaults set. The Time field enables you to specify, in this form, the
time component of those attributes:
[h]h:[m]m
[h]h
is an integer in the range 0 through 23 specifying the hour of the day.
[m]m
is an integer in the range 0 through 59 specifying the minute of the hour.
The first minute of the day is 00:00 (midnight). The last minute is 23:59.
For more information on the Time field, see Job Definition on page 6-102.
Restart
Use the Restart field to set the RESTART job attribute for the defaults set. The attribute
specifies whether a job is restarted automatically if it fails during execution for any of
these reasons:
•
The executor program process stops or abends with completion code 7.
•
The executor program process terminates because of CPU failure. This reason
does not apply if the process has a backup that successfully takes over job
execution.
•
A process created by the executor program process terminates because of CPU
failure, and the job has the attribute STOP-ON-ABEND ON.
The options for the Restart 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. The scheduler deletes the temporary
executor when job execution finishes.
AF Specifies the AFTER job attribute. The attribute makes a job available for execution at
the time specified in the Time field.
Y Yes specifies the attribute RESTART ON. The job is restarted if it fails during execution
for any of the reasons listed previously.
N No specifies the attribute RESTART OFF. The job is not restarted if it fails during
execution.
