Unicenter CA-Scheduler Job Management for VSE User Guide

documentation batch command. A command
issued through batch using the CARUTIL0 program
that is used to maintain members in the
documentation file.
documentation file. The Unicenter CA-Scheduler
file that contains documentation members. The
default name of the file is CAIJDCM.
events. Occurrences that Unicenter CA-Scheduler
monitors so it knows when predecessor conditions
have been satisfied. Some of the events that
Unicenter CA-Scheduler monitors are schedules and
jobs starting and ending, the close of output data
sets and generation data groups, and what time it is.
explicit predecessor. A predecessor that is
specifically defined in the criteria statement of a
schedule or job. Explicit predecessors can be either
of two types:
■ Selection-defined explicit predecessors are
predecessors that also define selection criteria.
They can be schedule or job names used with or
without the keywords SCD and START.
■ Keyword-defined explicit predecessors are
ignored in the selection process and always
include one of the following keywords:
DSN GDG GBLxnn DOS PRED
When START or SCD are used with PRED or DOS,
the result is a keyword-defined predecessor that is
ignored during the selection process.
forecasting. .* previously FORECAST Producing
reports that show which schedules and jobs will be
selected for processing on any given days.
General authority level. The default authority level
assumed for all users unless Supervisor or Manager
is specified. Allow users to:
■
■
■
Define and maintain certain schedule and job
records
Control and display the status of certain
schedules and jobs
Potentially display and alter JCL for certain
staged jobs
Two fields determine the scope of a General user's
authority:
1. The CONNECT field on each user record
defines which stations that General user is
authorized to access.
2. The USERS field on a schedule's base record
defines which General users can access that
schedule and its jobs.
General users are prohibited from doing anything
involving stations or schedules for which they are
not authorized. See authorized users as well as
Supervisor and Manager authority levels.
generic list. A group of schedules or jobs whose
names begin with the same characters. To display,
list, or analyze a generic list, specify the common
characters followed by an mask character (*).
global parameter. A user-controlled variable that
defines a predecessor condition in criteria statements
and can assume arithmetic, binary, or character
values. See keyword-defined explicit predecessors.
Gregorian calendar. The standard 12-month
calendar which Unicenter CA-Scheduler references
to interpret certain selection keywords (like
WEEK-DAY) in criteria statements. You can use
Gregorian calendar keywords without defining a
datetable or calendars.
Gregorian date. A date shown as mm/dd/yy
(American format) or dd/mm/yy (European format).
history file. The Unicenter CA-Scheduler file that
contains history records for schedules and jobs.
history record. The record that contains statistics of
past runs of schedules and jobs.
implicit predecessor. Predecessors that are not
defined on a job's criteria statement. Because
Unicenter CA-Scheduler enforces workstation
sequences, pre-CPU jobs (such as data entry and JCL
staging) are implicit predecessors for CPU jobs.
Likewise, CPU jobs are implicit predecessors for
post-CPU jobs (such as report distribution). See
sequence enforcement.
inactive. Schedules and jobs that are:
■
■
Defined as REQUESTED but not activated by a
REQUEST or SREQ command, and
The successors of REQUESTED schedules and
jobs
Schedules and jobs in the inactive queue at autoscan
time are purged regardless of what values have
been defined for BACKLOG. The opposite of active.
