BYPASS

Bypass command for scheduling waiting jobs

This is an option to allow a job to ignore pre-requisite conditions, missing resources, etc.

6.1

The presentation in the Jobs map should reflect that a job has a bypass on it

Re-Run Of Job Flow

Allow rerunning a job flow in a single command:

From AJF (screen 3) Upstream, downstream or both Select which jobs in the flow to rerun The jobs conditions are automatically deleted before rerun Rerun or restart (steps apply only to the anchor job)

Keep / Discard Resources

Keep resources when JOB ended NOTOK / Discard when OK

When job ends NOTOK resources are automatically released In 6.2 BMC CONTROL-M will keep resources (control and quantitative) allocated
Release only when: re-run and ended OK, Forced OK, Deleted

6.2

Determined through an attribute of a resource in a specific JOB (a field in the job definition per resource) Option to discard resources after usage

Statistics Calendar for Better Prediction

Deadline scheduling calculations are based on job statistics Jobs statistics based on average elapsed time calculation How to handle variance in elapsed time?
Jobs elapsed time is exceptional during weekend Jobs elapsed time is exceptional during end of quarter

6.2

Jobs statistics are

periodically based
Implemented through calendars 20 entries per period

Job Flow Across NewDay

6.2

Current situation
Scenario 1 New day at midnight (1/1/05) Job A is ordered to run at 23:00 Late sub warning is required 2 hours later at 01:00 the following day (1/2/05) Late Sub Shout is coded to 01:00 At 23:00 (1/1/05) a late sub shout is issued for Job A 2 hours ahead of time The solution Provide ODATE relative value
from-time, to-time shout due out

Scenario 2 - Flow of jobs to run through all weekend - 2 hours Backup window is needed at Saturday noon - FROM specific time (late Saturday) - Late Sub warning is required for a job that should run on Saturday evening
