Job Scheduler

Features

Jobs can run either sequentially or concurrently within a group.

LDA and Job switches can be passed from one job to another.

The Halcyon Job Scheduler can start jobs on a another LPAR or on another System i™ (iSeries™, AS/400™). It can also run commands on any networked System i™ (iSeries™, AS/400™) or any other system that runs a remote executing daemon, such as a PC or Unix Server.

Support for named parameters. These can represent character strings, numbers, dates or times, and can be constants or calculated values.

Progress, status and error messages can be sent to mobile phones, pagers, message queues or directly to the Halcyon Enterprise Console.

Scheduling options include regular day of week or day of month patterns, use of a calendar or a user program.

Multiple calendars are supported and can be used either directly as schedule data, or to set exceptions to regular pattern schedules.

User programs allow unusual schedule patterns to be programmed without resorting to calendars. You can also use a user program to interface to a third party calendar.

Custom conditions can be used for conditions such as object existence, lock status, field value or the status of a non-Halcyon Job Scheduler job.

A “Capture Mode” can capture Submit Job parameters for later insertion in Halcyon Job Scheduler job definitions.

Full recovery options are available when a job ends abnormally or cannot be started.
