Use Sleeper to run your jobs at a specified time. You generally do this with the following types of jobs:
Lengthy jobs
Jobs that take up a great deal of machine resources
Jobs that require users to be signed off JD Edwards World software
Jobs that need to run periodically
Sleeper is a dedicated subsystem that runs only one job - the Sleeper job. This job submits scheduled jobs and releases all the jobs that have been set for unattended release.
When you submit a job for unattended release, you must specify the date and time that you want the job released. Once the Sleeper subsystem is started, it will check the list of jobs every five minutes, or whatever time you decide, and release any jobs designated for release. If the Sleeper subsystem is not active at the release time for a given job, the job is released when the subsystem is started.
This section describes the following tasks:
