Re: User Job Scheduler

1) Secure the command WRKJOBSCDE.
2)  Create a command that retrieves the current user 
profile and does a WRKJOBSCDE SCDBY(username)

This allows an operator to get a holistic approach to 
jobs scheduled on the system yet breaks it down by user 
for the masses.  OV/400 didn't have the holistic approach.  
Something I sorely missed.  Sometimes an intelligent 
user needs to see other jobs to avoid conflicts.  Unless 
you consider intelligent user to be an oxymoron.

Subject:        User Job Scheduler

One of the things our users use OfficeVision for is query scheduling. 
What I mean by that is, they can schedule queries to run automatically
either daily, weekly, monthly, etc. by doing an AJ ("Add Job") or AJM
("Add Job Multiple") into their OfficeVision calendar.  Each user
schedules his/her own with no involvement from MIS, and no one has
access to anyone elses.  This has worked very well for us.

With the impending death of OfficeVision, I am looking for another
solution.  I expect we will use Domino and Notes to replace the majority
of OfficeVision, but recurring AS/400 job scheduling by user is not part
of Domino/Notes.  I checked into the Advanced Job Scheduler for the
AS/400, but the capabilities I want (each user controls his/her own
schedule and no one elses) is not there, or so I was told.  Multiple
schedules _are_ there, but access restriction was a problem.

Does anyone know of a solution that's out there?  I'm not looking for
fullblown automation scheduling like ROBOT, just a way for users to
maintain there own "calendar" of jobs.

Thanks.
