Scheduling CWDirect Processes on the iSeries
Purpose: You can automate certain processes in CWDirect that are performed from a menu option or periodic function by adding the processes to a job schedule on the iSeries. For example, you can create a job schedule to automatically start the Asyncs each morning and end them each night.
In this topic:
• Creating a Job Schedule on the iSeries
Creating a Job Schedule on the iSeries
Follow the steps below to create a job schedule on the iSeries.
1. Verify that you have a job description whose initial library list contains the CWMPDTA and CWMPPGM libraries.
• To create a job description, enter CRTJOBD at a command line to advance to the Create Job Description (CRTJOBD) screen. Press F10 to display additional parameters and Page Down to display additional Create Job Description screens.
• To change a job description, enter CHGJOBD at a command line to advance to the Change Job Description (CHGJOBD) screen. Press F10 to display additional parameters and Page Down to display additional Change Job Description screens.
Depending on the length of your library list, the Initial library list field displays on the second or third Job Description screen. See your iSeries documentation for more information on creating or changing a job description.
