Hi,
Any could you tell me which tool / method is used to initiate the job automatically in Batch Job?

Is there any tool or Method used, kindly explain me...

I think CA7 might solve the problem.

Hello,

Suggest you talk with the people responsible for scheduling jobs on your system.

If your system uses CA-7, that could work. Your system may use some other scheduling software. The scheduling people will know . . .

Hi Dick & Nayan thank for your Answer,

Can you any one suggest more information on this. Whether CA-7 is a software which runs online or a system which is designed with the combination of CICS,COBOL,JCL,DB2.... ?

Hello,

CA-7 is scheduling software. It is used for scheduling. For a longer description, you could look at the Computer Associates web site - www.ca.com

As is said earlier:

Suggest you talk with the people responsible for scheduling jobs on your system.

Your site may or may not use CA-7 but it is very likely that some automated scheduling system is used. It is also likely that developers may request processes be scheduled but are not permitted to make/modify the entries themself.
