The JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT job schedules Jobs based on Job and Setup definitions which specify automatic submission.

Parameters

Submit Date

This date specifies the day for which you are scheduling Jobs. When JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT runs, it submits jobs which are scheduled to run in a 24 hour period. This period starts at the date and time specified by the parameters. All Jobs which are automatically submitted and are scheduled to run within this 24 hour period, will be submitted.

Submit Time

This time represents the starting time of day for scheduling Jobs. When this job runs, it submits jobs which are scheduled to run in a 24 hour period. This period starts at the date and time specified by the parameters.

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. The Job or Setup appears in the schedule report with an error message.

This is done so that JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT 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.

Description

JAMS_AUTOSUBMIT schedules recurring jobs which are scheduled to run during a 24 hour period. This 24 hour period is defined by the parameters which are passed to the job.

This Job produces one report which is a detailed listing of the Jobs which were submitted. Example 3-2 is a sample of this report.

restrictions

This Job 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.
