Background

If you do not have access to the Advanced Job Scheduler on the IBM i servers, this program can help you to submit a job a recurring number of times. The source consists of the following

 RTVJOBCNT - CMD - Retrieve Job Count
 RTVJOBCN#C - CLLE - Retrieve Job Count CL Program
 SBMRECJOB - CMD - Submit Recurring Job
 SBMRECJB#C - CLLE - Submit recurring Job CL PRogram

Using the program

The program should NOT be run interactively, you should either submit this process, or schedule it in the Job Scheduler.

If you issue the command SBMRECJOB, you have to provide the following fields:

                            Submit Recurring Job (SBMRECJOB)                        
                                                                                 
  Type choices, press Enter.

  _______________________________________________________________________________

  • Command to submit: Specify the command here. You can also prompt the command to give the correct values and parameters
  • Submitted Job name: The command specified will be submitted using the specified job name.
  • Submitted Job User Profile: Under which profile should the submitted job run. Can also specify *CURRENT for the user running the current job.
  • Submitted Job queue to use: Specify a jobq to use for the submission. Can also specify *JOBD to use the JOBD from the user profile
  • Allow Duplicate Jobs: If there should always be only one job with this name running, use *NO here. If you do not care whether the previous job ended or not, you can ignore duplicate jobs and specify *YES here
  • Number of recurring iterations: Specify how many times this job will be submitted
  • Delay between iterations: Specify here how may seconds delay should take place between submissions. This behaviour is also governed by the "Allow Duplicate Jobs" parameter:
- Allow Duplicate Jobs = *YES - Delay will be between submissions. If the delay is 60 seconds, every 60 seconds a submission will take place
- Allow Duplicate Jobs = *NO - Delay will be xx number of seconds after the one job ended and the next one is submitted again
