Enhancing your job stream definitions with the EVERY option

IBM Workload Scheduler job stream definitions can now use the following features:
  • The Repeat every option specifies a repetition rate, and the correlated end time, when instances of the same job stream are created and run in the plan. You can therefore specify that an instance of the same job stream be run every so many minutes or hours over a period of time. The option, available both in composer and in the Dynamic Workload Console, is defined in the run cycle (or in the run cycle group) used to schedule the job stream.
  • The new Actions tab located in the Scheduling Options page of a job stream definition in the Dynamic Workload Console specifies if the scheduler must start anyway, enqueue, or discard a job stream instance that is about to start when another instance is still running.

    In composer, this feature is implemented by the ONOVERLAP job stream definition keyword.
