Hello,

i need to create several period in TWS but i can't find example.

For example, i want to cretae a PERIOD named DEMAND which will be used to cretae application on Demand.

For this example, i don't know which paramters are needed :

Select all

Enter/change data below and in the rows,
and/or enter any of the following row commands:
I(nn) - Insert, R(nn),RR(nn) - Repeat, D(nn),DD - Delete

PERIOD NAME ===> DEMANDE_ Name of the period
PERIOD TYPE ===> _ A = cyclic based on all days, W = cyclic
based on work days, N = non-cyclic
DESCRIPTION ===> ______________________________
Descriptive text of the period
INTERVAL ===> 000 Number of days between cyclic run period.
VARIABLE TABLE ===> ________________ JCL variable table id

Interval Interval
Row origin end
cmd YY/MM/DD YY/MM/DD
'''' ________ ________
******************************* Bottom of data ********************************

Thank's for your help

I would suggest that if it is 'on demand' then there is no cycle so it is non-cyclic. But F1 should confirm that.

I don't understand what you are trying to achieve. If it's an on-demand job, why do you need a period associated with it?

Hello Blackthorn.

I would like to associate a specila perid named DEMANDE because it's easier to extract (in the futur) all applcations which are on demand.

In TWS, in the "XRF OF ITEMS - Cross reference between different items", i will chose tyhe name o the period "DEMANDE" :

Select all

Command ===>
Select a maximum of 5 items by entering the digits 1 to 5 below.
This indicates the sort order of the cross reference list.

APPLICATION ID ===> 1
APPLICATION TEXT ===> _
PRIORITY ===> _
PERIOD/RULE NAME ===> 2
RUN CYCLE TEXT ===> _
OPERATION ===> _
OPERATION TEXT ===> _
JOB NAME ===> _
JOB CLASS ===> _
FORM NUMBER ===> _
SYSOUT CLASS ===> _
WS RESOURCE 1 ===> _
WS RESOURCE 2 ===> _
SPECIAL RESOURCES ===> _
CALENDAR ID ===> _

Well if you're not actually using the period to control the running of your schedules, then it doesn't matter how you set it up. You can put any old rubbish in there.
