Field Descriptions
At/Af
Use the At/Af field with the Time field to set the AT job attribute or AFTER job attribute.
The options for the At/Af field are:
Execution of a job with the AT or AFTER attribute is delayed by the WAIT attribute if
the WAIT attribute is specified. For example, a job scheduled to run at or after 17:30 is
delayed until 18:00 if the WAIT attribute specifies a half-hour delay.
Time
Use the Time field with the At/Af field to set the AT job attribute or AFTER job attribute.
The Time field lets you 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.
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
Execution does not occur at the specified time if either of these conditions exists:
•
The job’s TAPEDRIVES attribute specifies more tape drives than are available.
The job is executed as soon as the required number of drives is available. For
more information on the TAPEDRIVES job attribute, see Drives
on page 6-108.
•
The job has the WAITON attribute and has not been released by the master jobs
on which it depends. The job is executed as soon as it is released by all its master
jobs. For more information on the WAITON job attribute, see Job Dependencies on
page 6-117.
NetBatch-Plus converts the AT attribute to AFTER if you submit the job when the
AT-ALLOWED scheduler attribute is OFF. This lets the scheduler accept the job and
ensures the job runs as soon after the specified time as possible. For more information
on the AT-ALLOWED scheduler attribute, see Scheduler Info
on page 6-190.
AF Specifies the AFTER job attribute. The attribute makes a job available for execution at
the time specified in the Time field. After this time is reached, execution of the job
depends on:
•
Executor availability (the scheduler does not create a temporary executor to run the
job)
•
Tape drives availability (if the job has the TAPEDRIVES attribute)
•
Master jobs releasing the job (if it has the WAITON attribute)
