Functions
F6–Alter Changes the attributes of the current scheduler. F6–Alter has the same
function as the BATCHCOM command ALTER SCHEDULER.
Table 6-9
on page 6-206 lists scheduler attributes and the fields you use
on the Scheduler Info screen to set those attributes.
The changes you make with the F6–Alter function take effect as soon as
the NetBatch-Plus application finishes executing the function. The only
exception to this rule occurs when you change the BACKUPCPU
attribute. For this attribute, the function changes the value on the screen
and in the scheduler database, but the actual CPU change does not occur
until the primary or backup process stops. For more information on
changing the backup CPU, see Backupcpu
on page 6-196.
If an attribute field is blank when you press F6, the NetBatch-Plus
application redisplays the attribute set by the F4–Add function. The
default value for the field is not used in these circumstances.
You cannot use the F6–Alter function to change parameters and options
in the scheduler environment fields. These values are specified before
performing the F9–Run function and cannot be changed when the
scheduler is running. The only exception to this rule concerns the
scheduler log file specified in the Log File field. You can change this file
as necessary with the F15–Switch Log function.
The F6–Update function is available only to super-group users (255, n).
F8–Abort Immediately stops all executing and suspended jobs and halts scheduler
operation. F8 is the same as the BATCHCOM command ABORT
SCHEDULER. (See the second Caution after this table.)
F8–Abort stops the scheduler process after the scheduler stops any
executing or suspended jobs. When the process stops, all files in the
scheduler’s database (including the log file) are closed. The existing
scheduler configuration is retained in the files.
No scheduler or job control functions are effective after you press F8.
To warm start a scheduler halted by the function, perform the F9–Run
then F10–Start functions. For more information on warm starting
schedulers, see F10–Start
.
The F8–Abort function is available only to super-group users (255, n).
