3.6 Analyzing Schedules
3.6 Analyzing Schedules
You should analyze all schedules that you add to the database before you put
them into production. This allows you to fix discrepancies and omissions
before you run the schedules. There are two ways to analyze a schedule
online:
■
■
Analyze a specific schedule
List all schedules and pick one to analyze
The first method is quicker, but the second is useful if you do not know the
exact spelling of the schedule to be analyzed. The analysis will produce
messages about the following:
■
■
■
If no jobs are defined for the schedule
If the schedule records specify an undefined calendar, datetable, userid, or
predecessor
If a predecessor or successor deadlock exists
To analyze a specific schedule, start at the Schedule Maintenance panel.
Suppose you recently defined a schedule (NEWSCHED), but you failed to
define any jobs for it and you defined a nonexistent datetable name in it.
