Submit Job
To Submit the selected job, click Submit Job from the Job Action Menu
Usually you can just click Submit to submit the job. There are a number of Controls described below that can be used to determine how the job is submitted. When a job is submitted manually, the user is prompted for a number of final options that may be applied to the submission. These options may be left as the default or changed to customize job submission. When the Submit button is selected, the job will submit using these options.
To set the set controls for the job being submitted:
Change the Identity if the current number is not desired. The default is usually acceptable.
Enter tag data text if desired.
Enter a parameter if desired.
Set Controls
The set controls control the job set identity and Tag data that the job will be submitted with. These are described below:
|
Job set identity |
The set id. is just a number that is assigned to the first job that starts up the job set. This value is available to the job through the environment variable SCHEDULE_SET_ID. This number can be manually specified or the system can automatically assign one. |
|
Tag data |
The set tag is also just text data (up to 32 characters) that is passed into each job as it starts to execute. It is available to the job as the environment variable SCHEDULE_SET_TAG. The only difference between the tag and the parameter is that the tag picks up its initial value from the control file. When a job set is first initiated and no tag value is explicitly provided then this value is picked up from the job tag field of the control data. |
|
Run time parameters |
The set parameter is just text data (up to 56 characters) that is passed into each job as it starts to execute. It is available to the job as the environment variable SCHEDULE_SET_PARAMETER. This value is established by the first job in the job set that is initiated. Later jobs can modify this value. |
Job Controls
The job controls determine whether any job interdependencies (initiates and prerequisites) will be applied during the job run. It also is used to set the step number which is a number that can be incremented through each run of a job.
To set the Job Controls for the submitted job:
If you want any initiates to run, check off the initiates box.
If you want any prerequisites to hold up the job, check off the prerequisites box.
If you want to set the Step Number, enter a step number in the field.
In order to set the Start time, enter a date and time in the Start Time field
Note: The job may be delayed to a particular time if desired. This may be a case where the user needs to run the job in the future but does not want to run it right away or set the job up for rescheduling.
When you have finished entering all necessary data needed to run the job, hit the Submit button to submit the job.
