Field Descriptions
For information on securing files using the SAFEGUARD facility, see the Safeguard
Reference Manual. For information on securing files using the Guardian security
system, see the Guardian User’s Guide.
If you specify a nonexistent input file for a job you submit, the NetBatch-Plus
application displays a warning but submits the job anyway. If the job has a time
attribute, the HOLD attribute, or the WAITON attribute, you can create the file any time
before execution. Time attributes are AFTER, AT, CALENDAR, EVERY, and WAIT.
Purge
Use the Purge field to set the PURGE-IN-FILE job attribute. The attribute specifies
whether the job input file is to be purged when the job finishes executing. The field
options are:
If you submit the job without specifying its PURGE-IN-FILE attribute, the job adopts the
attribute PURGE-IN-FILE OFF.
Out
Use the Out field to set the OUT job attribute. The attribute specifies the output file of
the job. To set the attribute, enter the Guardian name of the file. The file can be a
device, a disk file, or a process.
•
If the output file is a spooler process, spooler jobs are created for:
°
The job log file
°
Executor program output
°
Output from other processes created by the job
•
Spooler jobs are linked only if they have the same JOBID, form, owner, and device.
•
If the output file is a disk file or nonterminal device, the file is opened for executor
program output only. Processes created by the job cannot open the same file and
might fail, depending on how the processes handle “file in use” errors. Process
output is created only if the processes specify output files different from the
executor program’s output file. The job log file is not created.
•
If the output file is a terminal, this output is displayed on the terminal:
°
Executor program output
°
Output from other processes created by the job
•
The job log file is not created.
Y Yes specifies the attribute PURGE-IN-FILE ON. The input file is purged when the job
finishes executing. The file is not purged if the job owner does not have purge access to it.
N No specifies the attribute PURGE-IN-FILE OFF. The input file is not purged when the job
finishes executing.
