Functions
F4–Add Creates and initializes a new scheduler database. F4 is the same as the
BATCHCOM command ADD SCHEDULER. Before you can perform this
function, you must create the scheduler process by using F9–Run.
The files created by the F4–Add function are:
ATTACH A relative file containing the attachments (ASSIGNs,
PARAMs, and DEFINEs) used by the scheduler to
establish the initial processing environment for a job.
ATTACH0 The ATTACH alternate key file.
BATCHCTL An unstructured file containing scheduler attributes. When
you press F4, the scheduler adopts the default attributes
shown in Table 6-8
on page 6-206 unless otherwise
specified.
CHKQUE A key-sequenced file containing information used to link
job-related information (for example, the time a job is to
run) to jobs.
CHKQUE0 The CHKQUE alternate key file.
EXECUTOR A key-sequenced file containing information on executors
and their attributes.
EXECUTO0 The EXECUTOR alternate key file.
JOB A key-sequenced file containing information on jobs and
their attributes.
JOBCLASS A key-sequenced file containing information on classes
and their attributes.
JOBCLAS0 The JOBCLASS alternate key file.
NBATTX A key-sequenced file containing information linking
attachments to jobs and vice versa.
NBATTX0 The NBATTX alternate key file.
Except for the BATCHCTL file, the scheduler creates the files in the
subvolume specified in the Log Vol field. The BATCHCTL file is created in
the subvolume specified in the CTL File field. (See the first Caution after
this table.)
All files created by F4–Add are secured “OOOO” to the super ID
(255, 255). In addition, the JOB file is secured with the PROGID security
option of the SECURE command in the File Utility Program (FUP).
After creating a new scheduler, you must start it by performing the F10–
Start function. This function makes the scheduler available for job
processing.
The F4–Add function is available only to super-group users (255, n).
