RE: Lights out operations

During the day, have the deployment go all the way through the receive step,
and then hold the job queue named in the ARMTBCHJOB job description in
ACMSRCTL.

Then, on the development machine, use option 16 to submit the install job on
the target machine. The job scheduler can then release the job queue at your
appointed time.

Alternatively, set the deployment profile to specify the time the install
job is to start.

Subject: Lights out operations

We're beginning to implement, to the extent possible, an automated
environment to reduce the need for overnight operators. One issue
that's come up is how to handle overnight application changes.
Currently operators move Aldon deployment jobs from an inactive job
queue to an active job queue and when that job finishes they move the
"clean up" job to an active job queue. How does anyone else running a
lights out operation handle this process? Thanks.
