4.2.3 Determining Job Information

Determine the job information that is defined for jobs.

The following table provides the items that are defined as the job information.

Item to be considered	Description
Job name	Determine the job name.
Executable file	Determine the batch file (for Windows), shell script (for UNIX), command, executable program, Systemwalker script, JCL, or any other executable file that will be started as a job. It is also possible to transfer the executable file to another server where it is to be executed.
Execution directory	Determine the current directory to be used when the job is executed.
Execution server	Determine which server will execute the job. If an execution server is not specified, the job will be executed on the schedule server.
Queue name	Determine which queue the job will be submitted to.
Upper limit of completion code	Determine the value range of completion codes used for checking whether a job terminated normally or abnormally. Completion codes from 0 to the value specified here will be regarded as "Completed".
Standard output/standard error output	Determine the name of the file to be output, and whether to save the file that is output.
Child job net/linked job net	For child job nets, specify the job net to be registered as the child job net. For linked job nets, specify the job net to be used as the master linked job net.
Job control information	Determine whether to perform the following types of job control: Specify a restart point When the job net is restarted, processing will resume from the specified job. Register the job as a recovery job The recovery job will be started if the preceding job terminates abnormally. Use different execution conditions, depending on the completion code of the preceding job Wait using the OR condition of the preceding job Enable the startup days specified for child job nets or linked job nets Enable the startup days specified for child job nets or linked job nets.
Execution user name	Determine the execution users for the job.
Resources	Determine whether to allocate resources, and if so, how to allocate the resources.
Transmission of execution command	Determine whether to execute the job by sending the executable file to the requested server, or by running an executable file that already exists on the requested server.
Execution priority	Determine if there are jobs that should be given priority over this job, and if so, what the priority level should be.
Estimated processing time	Determine whether to monitor for job end delay. If an estimated processing time is specified, a notification message can be output to the event log or SYSLOG when the value is exceeded. If specifying this item together with the job cut-off execution time, ensure that the estimated processing time is less than the cut-off execution time.
Cutting off jobs	Determine whether to impose a limit on the job execution time. If a limit is imposed, the job is cut off at the specified elapsed time and becomes "Abended".
Job net variable	Determine whether to use the job output information as a job net variable within the job net. If you decide to use this information, also determine a prefix.
Environment variables	Determine the environment variables for executing the job.

You can specify job information in the Add/Change - Job window. Refer to the Systemwalker Operation Manager Online Help for details.
