Scheduling a Saved Command Script To Run

To schedule the script job:

1. Click on the Script Center icon on the Control Center toolbar. The Script Center opens.

   Figure 28. Script Center
   

   Here, you can view information (for example, description and script type) about all command scripts that are known to the system, and you can perform the following tasks:

   • Create a command script that contains DB2 and operating system commands

   • Run a saved command script immediately

   • Schedule a script to run at a later date or at a regular interval

   • Access the Journal from the toolbar to see the jobs that use a particular script and to see the status of all scheduled jobs

   • Edit a saved command script

   For example, you might want to create a script that will collect statistics for several tables. You could then schedule the job to run overnight.

2. Click with mouse button 2 on the script you want to schedule for execution, and select Schedule from the pop-up menu. The Scheduler window opens.

3. If you wish, select the frequency for the job, and a completion action such as a completion message or another command script to be launched.

   You can schedule jobs by running them unattended at a given time every x hours / days / weeks / months, multiple times a week, or multiple times a month.

4. Click on OK.
