The job identification code.

Use External Schedule

If this check box is selected, the time schedule is not used.

When the Use External Schedule check box is selected, an outside program (for example, UNIX or an external Job scheduler such as Maestro from UNISON) determines when to run a particular job. So, in that case the calendar/time schedule within Tools is ignored.

Periodical

If this check box is selected, the job is periodical.

Note

You can specify whether the job must be periodical in the Periodical field in the Job Data (ttaad5100s000) session.

Calendar

The calendar that specifies the execution dates and times for a periodical job.

Note

If you do not use a calendar you can specify the period interval between two executions using the Period field and the Period field in the Job Data (ttaad5100s000) session.

The description or name of the code.

Period

The number of period units.

End of Period

The date that indicates that a periodical job should not be executed after exceeding this date.

Next Execution Date

Maximum Duration

If a job exceeds its maximum duration, it is stopped. The running session is finished, but the next session is not executed. The history record explains the cause of the termination.
