Group Jobs is an IBM concept which allows the user to switch between sessions on the Series i. This involves communication with the Series i. Most users now use IBM Client Access which can have several sessions active. Switching between these sessions does not require Series i communication. The following is a description of JD Edwards's implementation of IBM Group Jobs.
The Group Jobs form allows you to perform a number of tasks from a single form, saving you both time and effort. You can perform the following functions from this form:
Run up to 16 jobs under a single sign on
Execute (or run) CL and fast path commands from a single command line
Execute (or run) JD Edwards World Hidden Selections
In addition to the added convenience, the Group Jobs function keeps the files for each of the jobs selected opened, whether they are currently active or not.
This section covers the following tasks:
Access the .JD Edwards World Group Job Form
Create New Group Jobs
Activate Suspended Group Jobs
Terminate Job Groups
Change to Non-Group Mode
Sign Off with Suspended Group Jobs
