Job Definition
Job Definition
Use the Job Definition screen to create and add nonrecurrent jobs to the 
NetBatch-Plus database. (A nonrecurrent job is a job that does not have the 
CALENDAR or EVERY attribute.) You can also use the screen to inquire about, 
update, and delete jobs already in the database.
A job you create on the Job Definition screen can include any or all of:
•
ASSIGNs, PARAMs, and DEFINEs specified on the job attachments screens
•
Selection criteria specified on the Bulk Job Selection Criteria screen
•
Job dependencies specified on the Job Dependencies screen
Each job is associated with a defaults set, the attributes of which apply to the job 
unless overridden. The defaults set owner owns the job unless otherwise specified.
When you add a job to the database, you can submit it for execution in these ways:
•
Use the F3–Submit function on the Job Definition screen
•
Select the job on the Ad Hoc Job Selection screen and submit it with the 
F3–Submit function on that screen
•
Include the job in a bulk submit run (if you specified selection criteria for the job)
After you submit the job, to control its execution or change its attributes, use the 
functions on the Job Info screen or Job Status screen. To inquire about processes 
started by the job, use the Job Inquiry screen. The job remains in the NetBatch-Plus 
database after submission and therefore can be submitted as many times and as often 
as necessary.
