Unicenter CA-Scheduler Job Management for VSE User Guide

3.2 Defining Optional Schedule Records
panel, that alone controls selection. When a calendar name is given, the
criteria statement only defines the schedule's predecessors.
■
The other method uses Unicenter CA-Scheduler's criteria language to
control selection and define predecessors. You define criteria statements by
entering data anywhere on lines 1 through 19 on this panel.
Most sites run backups daily, so you probably want this schedule to be
selected every day. However, on the days your databases are backed up, you
want to run backups after updating our site's databases. Therefore, the
DBUPDATE schedule should be a predecessor to the BACKUP schedule. How
the criteria language would handle this situation follows.
Start by typing SCD DBUPDATE OR on the first line and pressing RETURN.
Then type DAILY on the second line.
Although it really does not matter where on this panel you enter your criteria,
we recommend you type each reason for selecting a schedule on a separate
line because it is easier to see which reasons here correspond with fields on the
schedule's reason code record. If there is more than one reason for selecting a
schedule, each reason ends with OR (except the last one).
Note: Multiple ORs can be grouped into a single reason code by placing
parentheses around this reason. That means (MON OR FRI) is one
reason while MON OR FRI defines two reasons.
When you write criteria, you can embed comments anywhere by using /* as a
beginning delimiter and */ as an ending delimiter. These delimiters can appear
on different lines if the comment is longer than one line.
