Re: SBMJOB Scheduled Date/Time

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry,

You can submit a job to a JOBQ attached to a SBS that isn't running.

If you start the SBS, the job will then start.

So, I think the JOBQ entry of a job waiting for a certain date and
time will survive the IPL, thus will submit when the system comes up.

A little googlling turned up this:

For the basic SBMJOB there is no 'Recovery Action' (that I could find, anyway), and I've never experienced or tested this.  What I have experienced is a currently running job in QBatch when the system died; that job, just like a QInter job, dies not to be resuscitated until one resubmits it.  My guess (and it's only that) is that a scheduled SBMJOB is similar to a CL program with a DLYJOB; i.e., it would be gone when the system came back.

It might not even be necessary to actually take the system down; just ENDSBS QBATCH (or whatever) after a test job was submitted.  Then STRSBS QBATCH (such as most IPL start-up programs do) after the scheduled time.  Or you could go the whole nine yards and re-IPL the system within the necessary time intervals.
