Unicenter CA-Scheduler Job Management for VSE User Guide

3.9 Defining Jobs
■
MAXIMUM TIMEs have been defined for the schedule as well as this job.
The job's record sets limits on how long this one job should run, but the
schedule's record limits how long the entire schedule can take.
Descriptions of all five fields on this panel follows.
AVG TIME
EARLY TIME
MUST TIMEs
DEADLINE TIMEs
MAXIMUM TIMEs
Tracks how long the job takes for up to 16 reasons why
it might be selected. AVG TIME on the job's record does
not override the values for AVG TIME on the schedule's
record because these fields describe two different things:
how long an entire schedule or only one job usually
takes to run. Instead, the AVG TIMEs you specify
override the actual average run times derived from
historical data.
Allows you to specify different EARLIEST START TIMEs
for each reason this job is selected. If you leave these
fields blank, Unicenter CA-Scheduler uses the value on
the job's base record every time the job is selected.
Notice that a schedule's EARLY TIME must be reached
before Unicenter CA-Scheduler considers submitting any
of its jobs.
Tell Unicenter CA-Scheduler to issue late messages if the
job hasn't started by the time specified for each reason
jobs can be selected. If you leave these fields blank,
Unicenter CA-Scheduler uses the value for MUST
START BY TIME on the job's base record instead.
Tells Unicenter CA-Scheduler to issue late messages if
this job isn't finished by the time specified. Specify
values here if you want to define different deadlines for
each reason the job was selected. These values override
the COMPLETION DEADLINE TIME you may have
specified on the job base record. Notice that these
deadlines apply to a specific job while those on schedule
records define when all the jobs in that schedule must be
completed.
Sets limits on how long a job should run. If it takes
longer, Unicenter CA-Scheduler will issue a late
message. Specify values here if you want to define
different durations for each reason the job was selected.
These values override the MAXIMUM EXECUTION
TIME specified on the job's base record. MAXIMUM
TIME on job records define how long a job should take
to run, but on schedule records, MAXIMUM TIME
shows how long all the jobs in that schedule run.
What happens if you define more than 16 reasons in a criteria statement? The
times for any reasons beyond the 16th default to the values defined on the
job's base record.
