Managing job scheduling

 

You can schedule a job to run using the Advanced Job Scheduler, by using the iSeries™ Navigator Job Properties window, or by changing the job schedule entry via the character-based interface.

• Scheduling a batch job using iSeries Navigator
  The Job Properties - Job Queue window provides a way for you to schedule a batch job to run now, run once at a specific date and time or run at regular intervals (such as the first day of each month).

• Scheduling a job using Management Central Scheduler
  If you do not have the plug-in Advanced Job Scheduler installed, you can use the Management Central Scheduler to schedule jobs.

• Advanced Job Scheduler
  The Advanced Job Scheduler licensed program (5722-JS1) is a powerful scheduler that allows unattended job processing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This scheduling tool provides more calendar features and offers greater control over scheduled events than the Management Central scheduler. You can also view job completion history and manage notification of a job's status.

• Working with job schedule entries
  In addition to the iSeries Navigator Job Properties - Job Queue window, you can also change the job schedule entry directly by using the character-based interface. The following is a list of common character-based interface tasks that you can use when working with job schedule entries.
