Process
ID |
Because multiple instances of the
Asset Scheduler can run on a single machine, you must identify the instance that you want
to run a procedure. For example, you can start one instance of the Asset Scheduler to run
Tivoli Asset Management reports (as procedures), and another instance to run data utility
procedures. Type a new process ID in the Process ID box only if you plan to start a new
instance of the Asset Scheduler with that name from the command line. Select Any to let
any instance of the scheduler run the report or process. |
Module
|
The compiled program (.kbc) file
that contains the process to be run by the Asset Scheduler. For example: I_REPORT.KBC |
Procedure |
The name of the procedure within the
module to be run by the Asset Scheduler. For example: RUNSCHEDREPORT |
Organization
|
If you are using the Asset
Management Scheduler in secure
mode, the value in the Organization box represents the customer whose data is to be
used for the procedure. |
Parameters |
Parameters are the input values
required for the Asset Scheduler to run a procedure. When you add a procedure to the
Asset Scheduler through one of the data utilities, all required parameter information is
provided by the utility. If you manually add a procedure, you must specify any required
parameters in the appropriate parameter boxes. |
Previous
Time |
The Asset Scheduler uses the
Previous Time and Previous Date values to calculate the next run time. For example, if you
want the process to execute every five minutes starting at 5:00 p.m., type 16:55:00 for
the previous run time, leaving five minutes for the interval. |
Previous
Date |
The Asset Scheduler uses the
Previous Time and Previous Date values to calculate the next run time. For example, if you
want the process to execute every five minutes starting at 5:00 p.m., type 16:55:00 for
the previous run time, leaving five minutes for the interval. |
Days |
The number of days between run
times. If you specify zeros in the Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds boxes, the Asset
Scheduler will only run the report or process immediately upon startup. |
Hours |
The number of hours between run
times. If you specify zeros in the Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds boxes, the Asset
Scheduler will only run the report or process immediately upon startup. |
Minutes
|
The number of minutes between run
times. If you specify zeros in the Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds boxes, the Asset
Scheduler will only run the report or process immediately upon startup. |
Seconds |
The number of seconds between run
times. If you specify zeros in the Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds boxes, the Asset
Scheduler will only run the report or process immediately upon startup. |
Enabled |
You can enable and disable reports
and processes without removing them from the Asset Scheduler by using the Enable
check box. By default, all new reports and processes are disabled. If the Enabled check
box is cleared, the Asset Scheduler does not execute the selected report or process. |
Absolute
Time |
Absolute time is used because
Process A may be executing when the interval for Process B expires. When a process or
process is executing, it blocks the Asset Scheduler from executing another process. This
is called synchronous execution. When Process A finishes, Process B will execute, albeit
behind schedule. When Process B finishes, the Asset Scheduler can record either the time
Process B was supposed to start, or the time that it actually started. Note that this
affects the next start time for Process B, because the next start time is equal to the
previous start time plus the specified interval. |
