Field | Description | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Job Name | The Scheduler defaults to the next job number in the sequence. You can alter this to any alphanumeric.
| ||||
Description | A description of the job | ||||
Frequency | When the job runs. The options available in the drop-down list box are:
| ||||
Start Date and Start Time | The date and time for the job to start. | ||||
Max Threads | The maximum number of threads allocated to run the job, e.g, if some tasks can run in parallel then if more than one thread is allocated they will run in parallel.
| ||||
Scheduler | Certain types of jobs will only run in a specific environment. For example, ODBC-based loads can only be handled by the Windows' scheduler. It is possible to have multiple schedulers running. Select the desired scheduler from this drop-down. The valid options are: UNIX Preferred, UNIX Only, Windows Preferred, Windows Only, or the name of a specific scheduler can be entered (e.g. WIN0002) | ||||
Dependent On | A job can be dependent on the successful completion of one or more other jobs. Click the Add Parent Job button to select a job that this job will be dependent on. The maximum time to look back for the parent job completion field prevents older iterations of the parent job as being identified as a completion. The maximum time to wait specifies how long to await a successful completion of the parent job. The action if that wait expires can also be set. Refer to the Job Dependency example in Scheduling a Job for details. | ||||
Logs Retained | Specify the number of logs to retain for the job. By default, all logs are retained. This field can be used to reduce the build-up of scheduler logs by specifying the number of logs to retain. | ||||
Success command and Failure command | These are either UNIX or Windows shell commands depending on which scheduler is used. They are executed if the condition is met. Typically, these commands would mail or page on success or failure.
