Define job scheduling clusters and connected divisions (SHS070/071)
The job schedule cluster functionality allows you to schedule one job and get multiple jobs submitted (one job per connected division).
In 'Job Schedule Cluster. Open' (SHS070), you can define a cluster identity. In 'Job Schedule Cluster Divisions. Open' (SHS071), you can connect which divisions to include in the cluster.
When scheduling a job that supports the cluster functionality, a 'Job schedule cluster' ID is displayed in 'Job Schedule Information. Open' (SHS230). In this field, you can select for which cluster the job is scheduled. By doing this, the scheduled job is cloned. That is, one job per division in the cluster is automatically created.
These jobs are viewed as individual jobs in 'Job Schedule Entry. Update' (SHS010). Jobs scheduled with the cluster functionality are always maintained on a group level. For example, when submitting a cluster job, all clones are connected to a common job submission ID. Any option used in (SHS010) are applied on all jobs belonging to the same job submission ID. Option '24-Decouple from Cluster submission' in SHS010 is used to decouple a specific job from the job submission ID. An example is if you want to delete just one of the jobs.
Adding or removing divisions in (SHS071), automatically updates any scheduled cluster jobs. An example is either adding jobs for the new divisions or removing jobs for the removed divisions.
Limitation
We recommend that only group divisions belonging to the same country configuration and same time zone into the same cluster.
