Glossary This glossary defines terms used in all volumes of Unicenter CA-Scheduler's documentation, but sometimes one new term leads to another. To help you grasp these new ideas quickly, we have used italics to highlight related terms worth cross-referencing. abend. Abnormal ending. An early termination of a program due to an error. accounting day. A day designated on a datetable as part of a cyclic production, sales, or accounting period. accounting period. One or more accounting days. accounting week. A week containing at least one accounting day. active. Schedules and jobs that are: ■ ■ ■ ■ Waiting at any workstation for predecessors, start time, or defined resources Waiting at a non-CPU station to be started manually Submitted, held, or started Completed, interrupted, abended, or failed The opposite of inactive. array. A variable parameter with multiple values. authority level. One of three different types of access assigned to users using the TYPE field on a user record. Each authority level places different restrictions on what those Unicenter CA-Scheduler users can do. See General, Supervisor, and Manager authority levels. authorized users. Users with General authority level who are allowed to maintain and control a schedule and its jobs because they are listed in the USERS field on that schedule's base record. (Users with Supervisor or Manager authority level do not require specific authorization to maintain or control schedules.) autoscan. The automatic selection of a day's workload. Unicenter CA-Scheduler scans the database at a set time every day to determine the workload for the next 24 hours. autoscan day. The 24-hour period starting with autoscan. Also called the production day. AUTOTIME. The time when Unicenter CA-Scheduler automatically scans its database for workload selection. This defaults to midnight, but may be modified with the AUTOTIM installation option. Also called autoscan time. available. Ready for processing by Unicenter CA-Scheduler. A schedule is available (ready to start) when its early start time has been reached and all of its predecessors have been satisfied. A job is available (ready to be submitted) when its schedule has started, the job's early start time has been reached, all the job's predecessors have been satisfied, and the resources defined for that job are available (not in use). backlog. Work that was not completed one day and was carried over to the next. References to a backlogged schedule or job pertain to a previous day's schedule or job which is included in today's workload. backout job. A replacement job that is automatically submitted by Unicenter CA-Scheduler when a job abends provided that ABEND=BACKOUT on the abended job's base record. base record. The record which is required to define a schedule or job. There is a schedule base record (SBR) and a job base record (JBR). Glossary X-1

7.7.6 NJE Processing<br />

The node where a schedule is defined is the node that controls that schedule<br />

and submits its jobs.<br />

A job's NODE ID identifies where that job will run. A schedule's NODE ID<br />

identifies the CPU that will track and control that schedule and its jobs, and<br />

will submit those jobs to the appropriate CPUs.<br />

NODE SYSID identifies which CPU a job will run on at the specified NODE<br />

ID.<br />

Predecessor events can be fed between nodes if:<br />

■<br />

■<br />

<strong>Job</strong>s are preceded by the keyword NJE in the successors' criteria statements<br />

and the predecessor's job node record is defined to notify every successor's<br />

node of the predecessor's status<br />

Output data set names are preceded by the keyword DSN in the<br />

successors' criteria statements and have been specified to the <strong>CA</strong>IJ$DSN<br />

macro with the successors' nodes that require notification and<br />

DSNINFM=YES in the <strong>CA</strong>IJGEN macro<br />
