Pete,

Just one caution, well actually two.

1) Some jobs have predicate steps so you can't hold
the middle step... ie calculate paychecks, print
paychecks. Would not want to hold the calculate step.

2) Through JOBACT and CNFLCT some batch jobs would
immediately prohibit other MAPICS tasks. So even
though you submit it for later execution MAPICS would
think it was still active or pending.

But for long reports and other tasks it would work.

Regards

Konrad

Good Afternoon list...

Maybe everyone is or was aware of this.... But I just found this out
myself... I believe there was some talk as to being able to schedule various
Mapics jobs... Something to try until mapics decides to make that available
in many more tasks then they currently have..
If you hold the qbatch job queues.. Qbatch - Qbatch6.. (depends on what you
have setup to use in that env.). Go to the menu and run the option or
options that you want... Do a wrkjobq and find your task... If you put a 2
on it, cmd 10(additional parms) roll to next page.. There is a schedule date
and scheduled time... Change those to let's say a Saturday at Midnight..
They would then process at the specified time.. (don't forget to release the
jobq)
I ran several test and it does not appear to affect the backup..

If you already knew this, Sorry to bother.. else I hope this would be of
value

To all,,,,, Have a Happy Holiday Season
