3.9.4 Defining Optional <strong>Job</strong> Records<br />

After the base record is successfully added to the database, pressing Enter will<br />

take you through all of the optional panels that you indicated you want to<br />

define. Now that you are familiar with the fields on the job base record,<br />

optional job records will be described.<br />

3.9.4.1 Defining a <strong>Job</strong> Criteria Record<br />

When you select JCR, <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong> displays an editor panel where<br />

you define the job criteria record. This record can tell <strong>Unicenter</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-<strong>Scheduler</strong><br />

a variety of things:<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

The predecessors you defined <strong>for</strong> this job.<br />

That you do not want this job to run every time this schedule is selected<br />

(because a calendar is specified or the criteria statement includes selection<br />

keywords)<br />

That you want to give different reasons <strong>for</strong> selecting this job so you can<br />

define different start times or keep separate statistics <strong>for</strong> each reason.<br />

If you do not define a criteria record <strong>for</strong> a job, that job will be selected every<br />

time the schedule is selected and its only predecessors will be those defined<br />

<strong>for</strong> its schedule.<br />

The top line of the Criteria Definition panel identifies which job this record<br />

applies to. If that schedule uses a calendar <strong>for</strong> selection instead of a datetable,<br />

that calendar name appears following C=. To move the cursor into the area<br />

where you define criteria, press the TAB key once.<br />
