Output Network Scheduling Parameter Edit Panel

The Output Network Scheduling Parameter Edit panel lets you define or review individual workstation schedules in an output network. The schedule cycles of the output network are based on the schedules of the jobs to which it is connected.

The Output Network Scheduling Parameter Edit panel lets you define or review individual workstation schedules in an output network. The schedule cycles of the output network are based on the schedules of the jobs to which it is connected.
To display the panel, enter EDIT as the function on the DB.2.3 panel.
To exit the panel:
  • Press PF3 to return to the DB.2 Menu panel except with the TSO/ISPF interface when PF3 has been assigned to another function.
  • Move the cursor to the top line of the panel. Enter a top line command or another function.

This panel contains the following fields:
FUNCTION
Specifies the function to perform. The value must be the name of some other panel or one of the following functions:
ADD
Adds a SCHID to the work area.
DELETE
Deletes a SCHID from the work area.
EXIT
Returns the user to the DB.2.3 panel, restores the SCHID-COUNT and schedule data to what existed when EDIT was initially entered, and clears the work area.
FORMAT
Clears the panel of user input data.
LIST
Lists all existing SCHIDs, one per panel.
REPL
Replaces an existing SCHID in the work area.
SAVE
Updates SCHID-COUNT and SCHID information and returns the user to the DB.2.3 panel. Work area data (changes) are retained but the database is not updated.
SR
Combination function that results in a SAVE, a return to the DB.2.3 panel, and a subsequent REPL to replace an existing schedule in the database. SR saves all schedule IDs into the Active Area and replaces them in the
CA 7
database. If not specified, the scheduling changes are lost once leaving this panel. Entering the SR function automatically returns you to the prior scheduling panel.
SS
Combination function that results in a SAVE, a return to the DB.2.3 panel, and a subsequent SAVE to add a newly defined schedule in the database.
Batch keyword:
Positional parameter
NWK
Reflects the network name from the previous panel. This name is informational only.
SCHID
Specifies the numeric schedule ID on which the user wants to perform the specified action.
Limits:
1 to 3 numeric characters from 1 through 999
Batch keyword:
SCHID
STATION 1 thru 9
(Optional) Specifies network workstation names. Up to nine workstations are listed. Station names are listed in the sequence in which their tasks are performed. The same station name can appear multiple times in the list. This field is for station identification purposes only.
Limits:
1 to 8 alphanumeric characters
Batch keyword:
Not applicable (see TIME)
DOTM
Specifies the due-out time of day for the network workstations on this schedule ID.
Limits:
4 numeric characters that are specified as
hhmm
, where
hh
can be 00 through 24 and
mm
can be 00 through 59
Required for ADD or REPL functions
Optional for DELETE, EXIT, FORMAT, LIST, SAVE, SR, and SS functions
Batch keyword:
TIME
Note for batch input: The following format must be used, where the numeric value (or
n
) corresponds to the number of the station.
TIME=(dotm1,ldtm1,dody1,dotm2,ldtm2,dody2,...,dotm
n
,ldtmn,dodyn)
DOTM is used to calculate the actual due-out time for the network dynamically when it is brought into the queue. If the JOB field of the DB.5 panel definition matches the job name to which the network is connected, these values are used as the actual due-out times and no adjustments are made. If the DOTM  of the job is greater than the DOTM of the network, the network DOTM is incremented by 24 hours (that is, the next day).
If the job name field of the network definition does not match the job name to which the network is connected, the actual due-out time for the stations in the network is calculated as follows:
Station# 1
x
+
y
(1)
Station# 2
x
+
y
(2)+DOTM(2)-DOTM(1)
Station# 3
x
+
y
(3)+DOTM(3)-DOTM(1)
--- ---
x
=Job's DOTM+network connection LDTM+LDTM(1)
y
=DODY*2400 to calculate the day displacement.
LDTM
Specifies the lead time for this schedule ID. This amount of elapsed time is necessary to ensure that the network completes its task before its scheduled due-out time.
Limits:
4 numeric characters that are specified as
hhmm
, where
hh
can be 00 through 24 and
mm
can be 00 through 59
Required: Yes - for ADD or REPL functions
No - for DELETE, EXIT, FORMAT, LIST, SAVE, SR, and SS functions
Batch keyword:
TIME
DODY
Specifies the due-out day for this workstation in the network, relative to the due-out time for the job to which the network is connected.
Default:
0
Limits:
1 to 4 numeric characters from 0 through 255
Required: Yes (if the elapsed time between workstations in a network causes the schedule to roll over any midnight boundary)
Batch keyword:
TIME
SCHID-COUNT
Identifies a system-generated field containing the current schedule ID count for this network.
Example Batch Input
This batch input example adds schedule ID 1 for output network TESTOTNW. Because this network is an output network, no calendar or frequency data are permitted. This network has two stations. The first station has a due-out time of 0800 with a lead time of one hour. The second station has a due-out time of 0900 with a lead time of 30 minutes.
