The JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT_INTER is an executable which does the same task as the JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT Job but is is designed to be run interactively.

Parameters

System I.D.

Specify a wildcard System I.D. and only Jobs and Setups whose System I.D. matches will be selected.

Job Name

Specify a wildcard Job Name and only Jobs that match this specification will be selected. Note that this selection applies only to individual Jobs, a Job which is part of a Setup is not filtered by this selection criteria.

Setup Name

Specify a wildcard Setup Name and only Setups which that this specification will be selected.

Start date/time

This date/time combination specifies the starting time of the range that jobs are being scheduled for.

End date/time

This date/time combination specifies the ending time of the range that jobs are being scheduled for.

Ignore the Last Auto-submit Date

This parameter should normally be "N". The last thing that JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT does before submitting a Job or Setup, is to compare the date & time of the last time that this Job was automatically submitted to the current scheduled time. If the current scheduled date & time is on or before the last auto-submit date & time, JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT does not submit the Job.

This is done so that JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT(_INTER) can be rerun without double submitting Jobs. If you set this parameter to "Y", JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT will not check the last auto-submit date & time.

If you are going to confirm each job the last autosubmit date processing is used to set the default value for the answer to the confirmation question which lets you override this setting by job.

Confirm Each Job

Specify if you want to review and confirm each job submitted to the schedule.

Description

The interactive version of JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT is useful when recovering from unusual events or after making major changes to your schedule.

Normally, the JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT Job runs once a day and submits 24 hours worth of jobs to the current schedule. If you are recovering from an unusual event you may want to use the JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT_INTER utility because you can process less time frames of less than 24 hours. You can also enter job selection criteria and manually confirm each selected job.

restrictions

This utility must run under a OpenVMS username which has, at a minimum, the following privileges:

• CMKRNL - So Jobs can be submitted under the username defined in the System definition.
• OPER - So that Jobs can be submitted to any queue.
• READALL - So that all Job command files can be read.
• SYSLCK - To coordinate access to the monitor and schedule processes.
• SYSPRV - So the JAMS data files can be opened in update mode. This could also be done with ACL's.
