3.9 Defining Jobs
■
■
■
It is only valid if a criteria record exists for that job and selection is not
accomplished by a calendar.
It allows you to define up to 16 different values for certain fields, one for
each reason why this job could be selected.
Scheduler checks to see the reason why a job was selected, and then
applies the corresponding values when processing the job that day.
The only difference is that a job's reason code record applies to a specific job
while a schedule's reason code record applies to that schedule. A job's values
do not default to its schedule's values. Type the displayed values under MUST
TIME LIST and MAXIMUM TIME LIST.

The Reasons Definition panel allows you to specify up to 16 different values
for these five fields, which have meanings similar to fields found on the job's
base record. Unicenter CA-Scheduler matches these values with the reasons
defined on the job's criteria record: the first values here apply to the first
reason the job was selected, and so on. Our example shows different values
defined for two fields. How does this relate to the job's criteria statement and
the schedule's reason code record?

On Mondays, Unicenter CA-Scheduler will issue warning messages if this
job does not start by 10:15 p.m. or runs longer than 15 minutes.
On other days, messages are issued if the job hasn't started by 11:15 p.m.
or it takes longer than 10 minutes to run.
The schedule's reason code record sets the default early start times for all
the jobs in this schedule based upon the reason why the schedule was
selected. None of a schedule's non-CPU jobs can be started and none of its
CPU jobs can be submitted until the schedule's start time has been
reached.
