Panel 8 – Sched Options

This panel is not applicable when measuring specific DB2® stored procedures or user-defined functions.

The available fields on panel 8 vary depending on whether “Y” or “N” is entered in the Measure active job (Y/N) field, and whether or not a future schedule has been entered on panel 7.

No Future Schedule and Active YES

When there is no future schedule, and “Y” is entered in the Measure active job (Y/N) field, then no additional fields will appear on panel 8. In this case, specifying “Y” here is an alternative to selecting an active job from a list in panel 4. If you use this method to specify that a job is active, then the jobname entered in panel 1 must be currently active, otherwise the request will fail.

An example of panel 8 for a single occurrence of an active job (i.e., with no future schedule) is shown here:
