RE: Need Ideas for Batch Job Submission

Nnaa, it'd still be silly. :-)

If you want a job to start every 15min, simply use the RSMTIME() param of the DLYJOB command.

Calculate the next RSMTIME by adding 15min to the current RSMTIME.

One thing to consider, what to do if the job takes longer than 15min? Either go right into the next
run, or skip the missed run.

Now if you had been doing muliple submits, you might have ended up with 2 jobs running at the same
time. One reason IMHO, to only have the one submit.

Thus it may not be silly to submit a new job every 15
minutes. The ability of the submitted application to be
serially reusable is also not guaranteed.

And of course one submit would be sufficient.

Only thing to keep in mind... is it 15 minutes from start

to start, or

from end to start. For example, if the processing takes 10 minutes:

Start: 3:00:00
End: 3:10:00
Wait: 15 minutes
Start: 3:25:00
End: 3:35:00
Wait: 15 mintes
Start: 3:50:00
End: 4:00:00

In this case from 3AM to 4AM you'll only run 3 times, not

the expected

4 times. First, it may not matter, and second, if the job takes 10
seconds to run, you'll be off much less (but still off).

Just something to keep in mind.
