Schedule creation
You can specify the schedule of job execution in the Schedule Information. Create a record of the Schedule Information for each schedule entity. The key of each record in the Schedule Information is a Schedule ID.
In the Schedule Information, you can specify the command name for the job to execute, the frequency of the job execution, the user as whom the command is run, and so on.
Because the Schedule Information records are registered as management information, you can register the records on the Management Console. In the same way as for the other management information, you can use the Management Information Batch Registration command (utliupdt) to register multiple records in the Schedule Information at a time.
Command
Specify the name of the batch file (.bat) or executable file (.exe) that you want to run as a job, using a full path. If the path contains one or more space characters, enclose the path in double quotation marks.
Also, if the execution of the job requires specific access permissions or specific user rights, you can specify the name of the user who is granted the permissions or who is assigned the user rights, according to the situation. If necessary, specify the domain name and the password of the relevant user.

- Only Once:

- Every Day:
-

- Every Week:

- Every Month:

- End of the Month:
