Scheduler Usage

Our newday process runs from midnight and finishes around 0020.

I have a couple of jobs that have a start time of 0002, but when the newday procedure is over...these jobs do not execute.

To get them to run, I have to either hold and remove the start time or simply update it (even to just 0003)...then the job will execute immediately.

Any idea why this is happening?

Hi,

Look particularly usage of the character '>' in the Until field (see the CONTROL-M Job Parameter and Variable Reference Guide / Time From,Time Until)

A '>' character can be specified in the Until field if the From field contains a valid time value.
This character is used to indicate that once the From time has passed, if CONTROL-M has not yet submitted the job by New Day time, it should try to submit the job as soon as possible after the New Day procedure is run (without waiting for the From time to arrive again). CONTROL-M continues to ignore the From time either until the job is submitted or until the Max Wait period expires.

This info was most useful.

Thanks for the reply.
