Functions
F9–Run Runs the scheduler program NETBATCH that creates the primary
scheduler process and creates and opens a new scheduler log file. F9–
Run has the same function as the TACL run command that executes the
NETBATCH program.
The NetBatch-Plus application runs the scheduler program using the
parameters and options you specified in the scheduler environment fields.
The function also adds the name of the scheduler to the wild-card
scheduler processes list.
The execution priority of the scheduler process is set automatically to
150. To change the priority, use the TACL ALTPRI command.
The scheduler process owner is the super-group user you specified in the
Owner field. The scheduler log file is secured “NGGG” to the same user.
You must perform the F9–Run function before you can use the F4–Add
and F10–Start functions.
The F9–Run function is available only to super-group users (255, n).
F10–Start Creates the backup scheduler process, opens the scheduler database,
and makes the scheduler available for use. F10 is the same as the
BATCHCOM command START SCHEDULER. Before you can perform
the function, these conditions must exist:
•
The primary scheduler process must be running. If the process is not
running, use the F9–Run function to create a new process and open
a scheduler log file.
•
The scheduler database must exist. If there is no database, use the
F4–Add function to create and initialize a new database. You can also
use F4–Add if the database exists but contains information you do not
want to keep. (See the third Caution after this table.)
The processing environment when the F10–Start function finishes
executing depends on whether you used the F4–Add function before you
pressed F10:
•
If you performed F4–Add, you must set up the scheduler’s processing
environment before you can submit jobs for execution. Setting up the
processing environment involves changing scheduler attributes (if
necessary) and adding executors and classes. For information on
performing these activities, see Section 4, Setting Up the Processing
Environment.
•
If you did not perform F4–Add, the processing environment is the
same as when the scheduler process stopped. Job execution
resumes:
The scheduler immediately stops jobs executing when the scheduler
process stopped. (Processes can still be executing if the scheduler
process abended.) Jobs with the RESTART ON attribute are
resubmitted for execution. Jobs that do not have the RESTART ON
attribute are flagged with a job state of SPECIAL-2.
