the definition in the Glossary.
DASD VOLSERS
Specifies up to eight DASD volumes that must be
mounted before this job can be submitted.
Specifying them here does not get the devices
mounted. Instead, it causes Unicenter
CA-Scheduler to set job status to WAITING FOR
RESOURCES until all of the DASD VOLSERs
listed here are mounted. When Unicenter
CA-Scheduler sees that those resources are
available, it then submits the job. When specifying
more than one DASD VOLSER, use commas
between them. To refine the accuracy of your
simulations, define values where appropriate for
the fields described preceding as well as the
following:
■
■
Identify how many of each type of DASD,
tape and unit record devices this job uses. The
DASD types entered here must match
resources listed for the CPU's station record.
Unicenter CA-Scheduler has allocated room
for up to four different entries for each type of
device.
For example, if this job uses two 3380s, set
DASD01 = 3380,2. That tells Unicenter
CA-Scheduler that it should not simulate
processing until:
– Start time has been reached
– All predecessor conditions have been
satisfied
– Those defined resources are available
If this job is processed at several workstations, you may need to define a
ROUTE DELAY. Estimate how long it takes this job to get to this station from
the preceding one. This routing delay could take minutes or even days. The
chart following shows your options for specifying ROUTE DELAY:
