The following text explores these optional schedule records by creating one of
each type. SBR: Y means a schedule base record already exists. To create
optional schedule records, type a C in place of the Ns following SCR, SRC, SIR
and SMR. Then press Enter.
When you change the values of RECS fields to A, C or D and press Enter,
Unicenter CA-Scheduler immediately branches to panels relating to those
records. The order in which they appear corresponds to the order they are
listed on schedule panels which means the Schedule Criteria Record (SCR) will
appear first if you have selected it.
3.2.1 Defining a Schedule Criteria Record
When you select SCR, Unicenter CA-Scheduler displays an editor panel where
you define the schedule criteria record. This record tells Unicenter
CA-Scheduler when to select this schedule for processing and what
predecessors must be satisfied before this schedule can start.
If you do not define a criteria record for a schedule, that schedule will be
selected every day and the schedule will have no predecessors.
To move the cursor into the area where you define criteria, press the TAB key
once.
